All the team news ahead of Saturday's clash with the Sky Blues

BURNLEY

England Under-21 captain Taylor Harwood-Bellis will be absent. He was injured in the FA Cup win last Saturday.

Brazilian defender Vitinho (impact injury) may miss out again.

Ian Maatsen spent last season on loan with the Sky Blues. He was rested for the cup tie at the Vitality Stadium but could return on Saturday.

Jack Cork spent six months on loan with Coventry City in 2009. He completed that season on loan at Burnley in the Premier League.

COVENTRY CITY

Defender Jonathan Panzo was sent off in Coventry’s shock FA Cup defeat to non-league Wrexham. He is suspended for the trip to Turf Moor.

Young forward Fabio Tavares went off injured against Wrexham with a ruptured Achilles tendon. He has started a long rehabilitation process.

Callum O’Hare is set to miss the rest of the season after sustaining a bad knee injury in the Boxing Day game at Bramall Lane.

Strikers Matt Godden (ankle), Tyler Walker (knee) and Josh Eccles (ankle) are on the road to recovery from long standing injuries.

Experienced defender Kyle McFadzean is likely to be still out after picking up a calf injury during warm weather training during the World Cup break.

The Sky Blues have strengthened their squad with two loan additions. Brooke Norton-Cuffy (Arsenal) and Josh Wilson-Esbrand (Manchester City) have joined up with Mark Robins’ squad. Norton-Cuffy played against Clarets for Rotherham United at Turf Moor earlier this season.
