The winger had to leave the field after just half an hour of Tuesday's 3-3 draw against Norwich with a shoulder problem, but is optimistic he will line up against the Sky Blues.

"I had a scan on it on Wednesday and we are just waiting for the results from the specialist, but I should be all right for Coventry - I certainly hope so anyway," Kightly told the club's official website.

Defender Neill Collins returns after completing his two-match ban, while new signing Christophe Berra could make his debut having now had a few days training with his new team-mates.

Nigel Quashie will be hoping to earn a place in midfield while manager Mick McCarthy must decide whether to keep faith with Andy Keogh alongside Sylvan Ebanks-Blake in attack or go with Chris Iwelumo or Sam Vokes.
