Influential Sky Blues midfielder O’Hare has been a particular miss since suffering a cruciate knee ligament rupture at Sheffield United last Boxing Day, while young striker Tavares’ season was stopped in its tracks by a snapped Achilles tendon just over a week later against Wrexham in the FA Cup.

Both underwent surgery shortly after with a long road to recover of about nine months ahead of them. Seven months down the line then, how are they doing?

“They are doing incredibly well,” Robins told CoventryLive. “The pair of them have been really good and it’s a lonely old journey and they are in good spirits. Fabio never stops smiling anyway and Callum has been through the mill with him, and working together is always better for long term injuries and he’s helped him.

“Fingers crossed he’s on the right track and we will only know that when he starts doing his twisting and turning, but Callum is not far off the grass now. The pair of them, in fact, are not far off the grass.

“The original schedule was they’d be back at the end of September/early October but we have to wait to see how that progresses because it’s still early days for them.”
