Chris Birchall has no future at the Ricoh Arena according to boss Chris Coleman
The Trinidad & Tobago midfielder has signed a season-long loan deal with League One Carlisle United.
"Birchy is not coming back to us," Coleman told the Coventry Evening Telegraph.
"He has gone to Carlisle until the end of the season and it is up to them whether they do anything.
"He has got to play so many games for them before a contract kicks in for him there, but he is done and dusted with Coventry."
