Due to a knee injury sustained over the weekend, Coventry City manager Mark Robins has stated that Jake Bidwell may be sidelined for a “little while.” When Coventry City lost 2-1 to Sheffield Wednesday at home on Saturday, they were obliged to substitute the defender. The home team’s Jack Rudoni started the scoring, but they ultimately failed to secure a victory. The 31-year-old Bidwell has been a constant for the Sky Blues this season. He has played in eight different competitions, seven of which have been in the league, and he has contributed one goal from the back.
In order to ascertain the full degree of his injuries, he will have a scan and is now expected to miss some time. According to a report from CoventryLive, Robins stated in his most recent update on his health: “He doesn’t come off for no reason.” Since he has opened his knee, he will be sidelined for a short time due to a knee ligament injury of some kind and severity.
Injury blow for Coventry City
It will be hoped by Coventry City that Bidwell’s absence is brief. In addition to adding experience to their ranks, the full-back offers them competition and defensive depth. He joined the Sky Blues in January 2022 and has played 112 games overall, scoring three goals. He helped Robins’ team make it to the 2023 play-off final before Luton Town denied them promotion to the Premier League. They then advanced to the FA Cup Semi-Final the previous season but lost to Manchester United at Wembley. He has previously played for Everton, Brentford, QPR, and Swansea City. His contract with Coventry City expires in June 2025, indicating that he has entered the last 12 months of his current deal.
