On-loan striker Frank Nouble could make his Coventry debut this evening as the Sky Blues take on Gillingham in their first game at the Ricoh Arena since April 2013 (Sky Sports HD2/2, 7.30pm).
The 22-year-old joined the League One side on a half-season loan minutes before the transfer window closed on Monday. Manager Steven Pressley has confirmed that Nouble will be in the 18 for this evening’s match.
Meanwhile, the former England U19 international was fined £575 and had six points put on his licence at Southend Magistrates Court yesterday. The frontman, who appeared in court in person, was also ordered to pay £90 towards prosecution costs and £58 to the victims’ fund.
Nouble pleaded guilty to failing to provide information relating to the identification of the driver of a vehicle after an Audi registered to him was alleged to have been involved in an offence in Chigwell in Essex in November last year.
Elsewhere, Jack Marriott will be looking to score his first goal for managerless Carlisle United when they take on AFC Wimbledon at Brunton Park on Saturday.
The striker, who is 20 next week, is yet to find the net in three starts and one sub appearance for the Cumbrians, who parted company with manager Graham Kavanagh following last week’s 5-0 defeat at Cambridge United. Marriott will be with the League Two side until September 20th.
Freddie Veseli is likely to make his seventh appearance for his loan club Port Vale at Peterborough on Saturday. The 21-year-old is with Vale until January.
