Whilst a number of Coventry City supporters head to Wembley to see a depleted England side play Israel in a vital European Championship Qualfier (5PM on BBC-1), Michael Mifsud will be the only Sky Blue on international duty.

Mifsud who has scored against Barnsley and Carlisle (twice) this season is expected to play the whole game against Turkey tomorrow night in Valetta but only play some of the midweek friendly,so he will be fresh for the Sky Blues home game with Bristol City next Saturday.
