Back in contention against Tottenham
Kesler-Hayden (hamstring) is available for Monday's Premier League clash against Tottenham after returning to team training, according to coach Frank Lampard. "He's come back sharp, he looks good. He's still a very valued squad member on and off the pitch."
Analysis: Kesler-Hayden has yet to make an appearance this season after being sidelined by a hamstring injury since the start of the campaign. The defender recently resumed training but was left out of Monday's squad against Newcastle United as he continued rebuilding his fitness. His availability against Tottenham provides Coventry with additional defensive depth, although he could initially be limited to a substitute role after his extended absence.
Doesn't make squad Monday
Kesler-Hayden (hamstring) isn't in the squad for Monday's match against Newcastle United.
Analysis: Kesler-Hayden resumed training earlier this week, according to manager Frank Lampard, but he isn't in the squad. His next chance to play will come against Tottenham on Monday, Oct. 19.
Could return against Newcastle
Kesler-Hayden (hamstring) has returned to team training following an extended injury absence, according to coach Frank Lampard. "Kaine is back training with us, which is good. He's been out for longer"
Analysis: Kesler-Hayden has taken an important step toward his return after missing the opening stages of the season with a hamstring injury. The defender has yet to make a Premier League appearance this campaign, and his availability for Monday's clash against Newcastle remains uncertain following his lengthy absence. Even once fully fit, Kesler-Hayden is expected to provide additional defensive depth rather than immediately challenge for a regular starting role.
Expected after international break
Kesler-Hayden (hamstring) is expected back after the international break, according to manager Frank Lampard.
Analysis: Kesler-Hayden has yet to play for Coventry this season while nursing a hamstring problem, and based on the timeline, the defender will miss the matches against Brighton and Nottingham Forest before being potentially available to face Newcastle United after the break. Kesler-Hayden is a depth option at the back, however, so he's not expected to have a ton of fantasy upside any time soon.
Sidelined with hamstring injury
Kesler-Hayden is sidelined for the time being due to a hamstring injury, according to manager Frank Lampard. "It's a hamstring with Kaine... so yeah, that'll be weeks."
Analysis: Lampard didn't provide a timeline for Kaine's return, but the best-case scenario would be a return at some point before the September international break. Not having Kesler-Hayden trims the team's depth on defense, but he's not expected to be a steady contributor when everyone is fit, so his impact in fantasy would be minor.
