Andrew Whing has been recalled by the Sky Blues from his loan spell at Brighton & Hove Albion.
The right back's loan at the Withdean was due to end next week but Micky Adams has brought him back early.
Brighton are believed to be interested in a permanent deal for Whing who will have to fight for a regular place in the City side.
Whing made fifteen appearances for the Seagulls, picking up three cautions.
