Return remains weeks away
Eccles (ankle) remains sidelined for Monday's Premier League clash against Tottenham, with a return to training targeted in two to three weeks, according to coach Frank Lampard.
Analysis: Eccles continues to recover from the ankle injury that has kept him unavailable in recent weeks. The midfielder also recently welcomed a baby but is still working toward regaining full fitness, with his return to team training now expected in early November. He will miss another Premier League fixture against Tottenham and could require additional time before becoming available for selection. Eccles is expected to provide midfield depth rather than immediately challenge for a regular starting role once fully fit.
Still several weeks away
Eccles (undisclosed) remains sidelined and could need several more weeks before returning to action, according to coach Frank Lampard. "Josh isn't back yet, and he's had a baby recently, which is good news for him, but will still be a few more weeks potentially."
Analysis: Eccles remains unavailable despite initially being expected to return after the international break. The midfielder is now set to miss Monday's clash against Newcastle, with Lampard suggesting his recovery could extend several more weeks. His absence is unlikely to significantly affect Coventry's starting lineup, as Eccles is expected to occupy a secondary role once he returns to full fitness.
Out through international break
Eccles (undisclosed) is expected back after the international break, according to manager Frank Lampard.
Analysis: Eccles is one of three players who will be sidelined for Coventry until after the international break in a best-case scenario, joining Kaine Kesler-Hayden (hamstring) and Luke Woolfenden (knee). Eccles isn't expected to play regularly even when he's ready to return, so he won't be much of an option in most fantasy formats any time soon.
