Amar Dedic
Dedic was brought off near the hour mark against Leeds United. It was thought to be tactical at the time, but was more due to injury.
What’s Matthias Jaissle said?
“It doesn't look that good for the Hull match. Amar will also not be able to play on Saturday, so it's getting shorter and shorter, at least.”
Expected return date
Coventry City (A), 12/10.
Nico Gonzalez
Gonzalez suffered a blow to the head in the early stages of the 4-1 defeat at Leeds United. Despite briefly playing on, the Spaniard was withdrawn as a concussion substitution with just 19 minutes played.
What’s Matthias Jaissle said?
“It was just unlucky. It was not a big hit, but the hit was strong enough and precise enough to knock him out.
“Like I said also in the post-match press conference, we need to be smart, we have the responsibility then to follow the protocol from the league, which I really think it's so good that we're so advanced in that approach, so he's missing the Saturday's match.
“But he's feeling much better; he's fine, usually you know, he could train, he can progress but again we take that protocol seriously, and therefore he will be out.”
Expected return date
Coventry City (A), 12/10.
Anthony Elanga
Elanga has missed the last two matches against Leeds and Hull City, but his injury is understood not to be as bad as first feared
What’s Matthias Jaissle said?
“Still not a real update on Anthony. I just spoke with him now, I think in the next 30 minutes he's in for a MRI, so we will get more clarity then. And then we hope that it's not that serious.”
Expected return date
Aston Villa (H), 17/10.
Tino Livramento
Livramento was due to make his first start of the season against Hull City in the absence of Amar Dedic at right-back but picked up an injury on the eve of the game.
What’s Matthias Jaissle said?
“He suffered some discomfort in the morning from yesterday's training, so at the moment we should have also the results already from the MI, but nothing for now from my side.”
Expected return date
TBC.
Jacob Ramsey
Ramsey was an unused substitute during the defeat to Leeds after feeling his, thigh in the pre-match warm-up.
What’s Matthias Jaissle said?
“He felt his thigh in the warm-up, so he was not able to play tonight.”

Will Osula
Osula sustained a foot problem during the Premier League opening day draw against Liverpool. He played on initially, but was forced to withdraw early in the second half.
What’s Matthias Jaissle said?
“He's now permanently getting the best treatment. We have a fantastic medical department, but it's still too early to make a clear prognosis, a clear time frame when he's back, but he's working hard in the rehab like all the others.”
Expected return date
Coventry City (A), 12/10.
Joelinton
Joelinton featured in just two of the Magpies’ seven pre-season friendlies due to injury.
What’s Matthias Jaissle said?
“Yeah, he's for sure out for a couple of weeks, but I don't want to go into too much detail, as there will always be specialists involved.
“The medical department is aware of it, we have top staff when it comes to that, and I'm really confident that he will be back as soon as possible.”
Expected return date
Coventry City (A), 12/10.
Dan Burn
Burn rolled his ankle in training in the build-up to the Premier League opener against Liverpool, and was spotted at the game on crutches and wearing a protective boot.
What’s Matthias Jaissle said?
Jaissle initially hoped Burn would return within a couple of weeks, however the defender isn’t expecting to be until after the upcoming international break.
Speaking earlier this week, Burn said: “It’s my not first injury and I’m sure it won’t be my last but hopefully I won’t be out for too long - I expect to be back after the international break.”
Expected return date
Coventry City (A), 12/10.
