Coventry City manager Steven Pressley has confirmed right-back Cyrus Christie will be out for four weeks with an ankle injury.
The 21-year old sustained the injury during the 1-0 win over Stevenage, and was replaced by Jordan Willis late on in the game.
The club were awaiting scan results on the injury and Pressley admitted he was relieved it wasn't as bad as first thought.
The City boss said: "We got the results of the scan back this week and our physio has made a further assessment of the results. He is likely to be up to four weeks out.
"On the face of it, it is an absolute blow but we did fear it could have been even worse than that. Although I am bitterly disappointed he will be out, I am delighted it isn't for an extended period of time."
