Bees are going to struggle to field a team against Coventry on Monday having sustained a number of injuries in their Powergen Cup match at Leeds.

Scrum half Paul Knight will miss the crucial league match with a bad ankle, and replacement scrum half Tom Richardson is also struggling with a leg injury.

Centres Mike Davies and Scott Williams will also have fitness tests later this week and are rated 50/50. Shaun Woof will also be out as will winger Nick Baxter and centre Simon Martin.

This means that Bees are absolutely down to the bare bones of their squad.
