CHRIS COLEMAN has today revealed that Stephen Wright may remain on the sidelines for another six weeks.

The Coventry Ciy right-back, who signed from Sunderland in the summer, has been sidelined for most of the season with an achilles problem.

And hopes of a quick return for the experienced defender were dashed by Coleman's verdict this morning.

He told the club's official website: ""Wrighty's not going to be ready for a while and the disappointing thing is that he's probably going to be out for the next four to six weeks.

"We know what the problems are with his Achilles and he is just going to have to take a back seat and let it heal.

"It's a big disappointment for us because Stephen was excellent in pre-season and we are desperate to bring in a right-back to help us in that area."

Coleman is running the rule over former Aston Villa defender Ulises De La Cruz, after taking him on trial.
