The midfielder was called up but has not made the starting eleven. However, two former Sky Blues were in the side.
Willo Flood who is still on Manchester City's books after a loan spell at Coventry and Roy O'Donovan who has made a big impact since he signed for Cork City after being released by the Sky Blues both started in a 2-1 win for the Republic. Scunthorpe United striker Andrew Keogh scored twice in the second half.
