Coventry City boss Mark Robins has admitted the club will rethink their transfer policy and change the way players are treated after they suffered a series of anterior cruciate ligament injuries.

Incredibly, the Sky Blues have seen six players rupture their ACL in the past two years and Robins felt that it wasn't just down to bad luck.

So, after looking into it, the manager has revealed that the club have found it's predominantly with players who have had this injury before and he explained the implications of that when speaking to the Coventry Telegraph.

"We have looked at ACLs and the common denominator with that is that the players who have done it have generally re-ruptured. So players we have brought in have done it before and there is a correlation with that.

"Certainly the way we run medicals will have to change. But there’s a cost implication to that, which is always the way, but you have to weigh that up."

Wesley Jobello was the latest to pick up the injury, which generally rules players out for anything from nine months up to a year.

The verdict

This is very interesting from Coventry and it shows the level of detail clubs will go into to ensure everything is right and Robins deserves credit for that because it could have been passed off as bad luck.

However, he wanted to look into it and they will now make changes accordingly with how the medical teams do things because something isn't right.

It's such a blow to lose a player with this injury and the League One side are right to take action moving forward.
