City top scorer Robert Earnshaw looks certain to face Coventry on Saturday despite suffering a wrist injury on international duty for Wales.
Earnshaw sustained the injury in Tuesday night's 2-0 defeat by Brazil at White Hart Lane.
But City boss Nigel Worthington today breathed a sigh of relief that there was no serious damage and said his star striker would be fit to play against the Sky Blues at the Ricoh Arena.

Worthington said: “Earnie sprained his wrist, but it has been X-rayed and there is no damage apart from being tender. It's a case of just get on with it.”
Earnshaw said of his injury: “I've had the X-ray. I've not quite broken it, but it is very, very sore. It didn't show a break, thank God, but it might as well be. That's how it feels.”
