Caleb Yirenkyi - Sees yellow Friday Yirenkyi recorded no stats in Friday's 3-0 loss versus Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 27th minute.

Impact Yirenkyi was shown a yellow card during Friday's clash and failed to do anything else during the loss. This was a disappointing showing, but not an unexpected one as the newly-promoted side took on the reigning champions to open the campaign.

Bobby Thomas - Creates one chance Thomas registered one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 3-0 defeat against Arsenal.

Impact Thomas didn't end up with much to show for the opening match of the season, but he did create a single chance. That's better than some others in the team, though it's nothing to really write home about. Thomas will hope that he can make more of some more easier matches coming up, as this was always going to be difficult.

Loum Tchaouna - Two shots in defeat Tchaouna recorded two shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Friday's 3-0 loss versus Arsenal.

Impact Tchaouna took a pair of shots Friday, but it just wasn't enough to make any sort of difference. Arsenal snuffed out every attacking move and Tchaouna was shut down every time he was on the ball. The only upside is that this is likely one of the toughest matches on the schedule, so Tchaouna should have it easier from here on out.

Carl Rushworth - Two saves in loss Rushworth recorded two saves and allowed three goals in Friday's 3-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Rushworth only faced five shots against the reigning champions and only managed to make a pair of saves as Arsenal proved to be too good to beat. The goalkeeper did his best, but just couldn't keep up. It's likely to be a long season for the newly-promoted side and Rushworth as they cope with the quality of the Premier League.

Jack Rudoni - Picked for bench Rudoni (shoulder) is on the bench for Friday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Rudoni was in contention to be fit for the season opener and has passed his testing, with the midfielder residing on the bench. He will look to see the field and get some minutes to build fitness, as he is a starting candidate, possibly breaking into the XI once his fitness levels are right.

Ephron Mason-Clark - Still sidelined Mason-Clark (hamstring) is out for Friday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Mason-Clark was hopeful of a return for Friday's season opener, but that will not take place, as the forward is still out with a hamstring injury. After his close call for the season opener and his training these past few weeks, a return could come in the next game or two, although he is a depth option in the attack.

Impact Bentley made only three Premier League appearances for Wolves last season, largely playing a backup role behind the club's primary goalkeeper. Bentley is expected to bring experience and serve as backup to number one Carl Rushworth, with the 33-year-old saying he wants to complement Coventry's goalkeeping group while making his mark whenever his opportunity comes.

USA Forward Haji Wright Reportedly Ruled Out Up To 12 Weeks Due To Quad Injury

Frank Onyeka - Ready for opener Onyeka (undisclosed) was not mentioned in the injury report by manager Frank Lampard and appears to be an option for the season opener against Arsenal on Friday.

Impact Onyeka was dealing with a knock he suffered late into Coventry's final friendly ahead of the new season, but he appears to have shaken off the injury, as he was not included in the first injury report of the season. He is set to be a key part of the promotion squad after permanently signing with the club this summer, a decent bet to start in the season opener.

Impact Mason-Clark picked up a hamstring reaction during a pre-season match at Leicester City, an issue Frank Lampard described as minor but still cautious enough to keep him out of Coventry City's win over AS Monaco. He has continued training since, and with the club now confirming him in contention for Friday's trip to Arsenal, he appears to have avoided a significant setback. The staff will monitor his hamstring closely before finalizing his involvement, and barring a reaction, Mason-Clark looks a realistic option in Coventry City's attack for the Premier League opener.
