In preparation for the Sky Blues’ return to Championship play against Hull at the CBS Arena, Mark Robins has made five changes to his Coventry City roster.
Victor Torp and Fabio Tavares are out for City due to injury, while a number of other players are fatigued after the exhausting FA Cup semi-final match at Wembley on Sunday, which has left important players on the sidelines and standing.
Brad Collins remains the goalkeeper behind a defense that includes Joel Latibeaudiere, Bobby Thomas, Luis Binks, and Jake Bidwell. Milan van Ewijk, who participated in the entire 120 minutes against Manchester United, is one of the substitutes on this particular night.

Ben Sheaf returns to the starting lineup in midfield, flanked by captain Liam Kelly. Kasey Palmer, who was suspended on Sunday, takes Callum O’Hare’s position at number ten, as O’Hare is not included in the matchday squad.
As Josh Eccles appears to be the favorite to step in on the right, Jay Dasilva takes up Haji Wright’s position wide on the left of the attacking three, leaving Matty Godden to lead the line in lieu of top scorer Ellis Simms.
Another striker named on the bench is 17-year-old Aidan Dausch, who volunteered to play for the Under-21 team this season.
City: Josh Eccles, Kasey Palmer, Jay Dasilva, Matty Godden; Ben Sheaf, Liam Kelly; Joel Latibeaudiere, Bobby Thomas, Luis Binks, Jake Bidwell.
Ben Wilson (GK), Liam Kitching, Ellis Simms, Jamie Allen, Dermi Lusala, Kai Andrews, Aidan Dausch, and Milan van Ewijk are the substitutes.
