CHRIS BIRCHALL will not play for Coventry City again, Chris Coleman has confirmed.
The switch has seen Birchall make one substitute appearance so far, although Carlisle have already agreed to take him for the rest of the season, effectively ending his disappointing career at the Ricoh Arena.
“Birchy is not coming back to us,” said Coleman.
“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.
