Marco Reich

Marco Reich will miss tonight’s Championship showdown against Coventry at Selhurst Park.

German winger Reich picked up a thigh injury in Palace’s thrilling 3-2 win at Brighton on Sunday, so won’t take part.

Jobi McAnuff will replace him on the right wing.

Mikele Leigertwood (ankle) and Jon Macken (back) return to the squad after recovering from injury.

Coventry skipper Steven Hughes is a doubt after he damaged his achilles. But Michael Doyle should be back after a pelvic problem.

Andy Morrell could replace former Palace striker Dele Adebola in attack.
