City get physical!

Coventry City’s pre-season schedule will sort the men from the boys according to assistant manager Tim Flowers.

‘It is designed to test them both physically and mentally and we will see who ducks it,’ he told the Telegraph.

‘So it will be interesting and a time when you learn a lot about people, although I have to say I don’t think any of them will duck it.

‘But there won’t be anyone fitter than us come the start of the season.’

The first-team will play away games against Shrewsbury Town, Northampton, Glentoran and Ballymena United before a home fixture against Udinese.
