Coventry City have accepted a suspended five-point deduction until the end of next season as punishment for the club's three postponed home games in August.

Championship clashes against Rotherham, Wigan and Huddersfield were unable to go ahead due to the pitch at the Coventry Building Society Arena being in an unsafe condition.

Coventry will immediately be docked points should they be found responsible for any further missed fixture in the 2022-2023 season or the 2023-2024 campaign.

The Sky Blues will also pay compensation to the opposing clubs affected by the postponements as part of the disciplinary sanctions, in addition to covering English Football League costs of £6,000.

Coventry chief executive Dave Boddy blamed rugby club Wasps, who also use the stadium and are in the process of being taken over after entering administration, for the poor condition of the pitch.
