Oliver Dovin is back at Coventry City after suffering a shoulder injury while on loan at Leyton Orient.

Dovin, who had not played a competitive match since suffering a cruciate ligament injury in March 2025, had gone out to Orient to get vital minutes under his belt.

He had been due to make his debut for the League One club in their Carabao Cup tie earlier this month, only to miss out because of a minor ankle injury. He finally made his first appearance for Orient in their EFL fixture against Arsenal, which ended in a 2-1 defeat. More significantly, it ended with Dovin suffering another injury.
