Coventry City vs. Sunderland: Oct 31, 2026

Mukiele's back pain kept him sidelined for Saturday's 2-1 win over Rennes, but coach Regis Le Bris expects him back in contention for next Saturday's opener against Ipswich. "But Omar is in a good place. He should train next week. Nordi isn't far off either. We're hoping they can both be available for Ipswich."

Alderete missed Saturday's 2-1 win over Rennes with a minor knock but is expected to be available for Saturday's season opener against Ipswich, according to coach Regis Le Bris. "But Omar is in a good place. He should train next week. Nordi isn't far off either. We're hoping they can both be available for Ipswich."

Wright (quad) may be sidelined for up to 12 weeks, according to Coventry City manager Frank Lampard. "He won't be available for a little while, he's got a very serious quad injury which is disappointing for Haji and for us. It's certainly going to be a number of weeks, could even be up to 12 weeks."

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.
