Mark Robins will wait on a scan to see the full extent of star midfielder Ben Sheaf’s injury but the Coventry City boss admits he could be out for several weeks after pulling up in the first ten minutes against Bristol City.

The Sky Blues’ skipper limped off at the CBS Arena where the Sky Blues ended a disappointing performance with a point from a 2-2 draw with the Robins. Asked what Sheaf has done, the manager said: “Hamstring. I would imagine he’s got a tear, so that put a dampener on things in the end but we dipped below the standards that we set and it looked like we played two games on a really heavy pitch last week.

Coventry took the lead through Tatsuhiro Sakamoto before Bristol pulled level before the break through Rob Dickie. The visitors then went in front in the 83rd minute through Wells before Ellis Simms pulled level three minutes later.

Asked for more detail on Sheaf’s injury, Robins added: “He came out of midfield and tried to get after them and he ended up just sitting on the floor. He said he felt a pop, which suggests he’s torn it.
