Coventry City vs Middlesbrough Playoff Showdown Expected

Coventry City head coach Frank Lampard faces key selection decisions ahead of the club’s crucial final regular season match against Middlesbrough, which will determine their place in the play-offs. Ongoing injuries to important players, notably winger Ephron Mason-Clark, present challenges, though there is optimism he could return if the season is extended. Lampard must also decide whether to risk starting defenders Bobby Thomas and Milan van Ewijk, both recovering from recent muscle injuries, with the play-offs in mind. The rest of the back four is expected to remain unchanged, with Liam Kitching and Jake Bidwell likely to start. These selection choices are seen as calculated risks, as Coventry needs their strongest line-up to secure victory and a play-off spot.
