Paddy McNair has been cast as a major doubt for tomorrow's match with Norwich City.
The Northern Ireland international, who scored in the lads' 1-1 draw at Leeds United on Saturday, picked up a knock at Elland Road which is likely to see him miss tomorrow's match at the Stadium of Light.
Marc Wilson is also a doubt while Bryan Oviedo is expected to return after missing Saturday's draw in Yorkshire.
Speaking at his pre-Norwich press conference, Coleman provided the latest team news.
“Injury-wise, sadly we’ll be without Marc Wilson and Paddy McNair,” he said.
“Both players did very well at the weekend, but they’ve both got knocks.
“It’s highly unlikely Paddy will be available, and Marc is a definite no. Jonny Williams and Billy Jones are still not available either. Bryan Oviedo will be back available after recovering from his injury.”
He continued:“We’ve got nothing to lose. We’ve been written off, so we’ve nothing to lose. If the teams above us are going to slip up, we don’t want to be left there thinking we’ve missed an opportunity.
“We’re desperate for the result, but we just have to go out there and perform and give ourselves a chance. The teams above us are in the driving seat, it’s there’s to lose, but let’s make sure we give ourselves a chance if they slip up.
“It seems some time ago now, I remember sitting here before the Burton game away and that was a must win. If that was a must win, this is a must, must win.
“You can look at it different ways. We don’t want to be where we are, but it’s an exciting game, there’s so much on it. We may be a little bit open, but we have to try to attack and score goals.”
