Coventry City will be forced to revamp their team for Saturday’s FA Cup tie against Northampton Town after Ryan Kent was ruled out by his parent club Liverpool.

Kent has returned to Anfield – temporarily, hopes City boss Tony Mowbray – because new Reds chief Jurgen Klopp wants to run the rule over his young assets.

"Ryan is going back to Liverpool for a few days prior to the international call-up so that the new coach can have a look at him.

"All the loan players are going back for a few days I think, that's fine by us; that's good. When a new manager comes in he wants to have a look at all of his players."

“I might have made changes in any case because I think tonight’s match demonstrated that some players were suffering from their exertions on Saturday.

“It’s ironic that a week or so ago we were on the point of getting six successive clean-sheets and now we’ve conceded five goals in two home games.

“But the positive thing is that we are scoring goals – and what goals they were. You couldn’t have written the script for Joe but that’s the sort of quality he has.”
