Coventry City loan news from coventryLive as we take a look at how Sky Blues' players are doing out at other clubs

Coventry City currently have seven players out on loan, six of whom can be considered as seniors.

Liam Kitching is the most high profile of the Sky Blues who have been sent out to get valuable game time at other clubs following the club’s promotion to the Premier League.

Defender Kitching was joined by goalkeeper Oliver Dovin and winger Raphael in departing the CBS Arena with deadline day moves to Sheffield United, Leyton Orient and Burton Albion, respectively. Left-back Miguel Brau had earlier secured a move to Portuguese side Academico de Viseu while Kai Andrews is out at Oxford United, defender Callum Perry at Cambridge United and striker Norman Bassette at Belgian side KVC Westerlo.

Here’s a round-up of how they are getting on so far.

Liam Kitching

Last season’s vice captain and Sky Blues regular alongside Bobby Thomas made a season-long loan move to Sheffield United on transfer deadline day and hasn’t looked back since. The 26-year-old has started all eight Championship games, completing 90 minutes in all and helping the Blades to three wins, one draw and suffering four defeats. United are currently slap bang in the middle of the table.

Kai Andrews

The young midfielder made his first start for Oxford United, helping them to a thumping 4-0 win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium where he played the full 90 minutes. That was a follow-up to his debut from the bench in a 3-1 defeat at Huddersfield the previous week.

He’s made six starts and two appearances from the bench in total and scored his first goal for seventh placed U’s last week, bagging the match winner in a 2-1 home win over Wigan.

Raphael Borge Rodrigues

The Australian winger made his first start for Burton Albion, helping the Brewers to a 2-2 draw with Cambridge United at the Pirelli Stadium where he played the first 62 minutes before being substituted. Since then he’s started every game, nine in total, playing the full 90 minutes in all but three as he’s quickly established himself as a regular for the Brewers.

Callum Perry

The young defender was up against Raphael in that early game against Cambridge United to a valuable away point. The 20-year-old quickly established himself as a regular in the League One side where he made seven starts and one from the bench in the cup. However, the left-back suffered a hamstring injury in September and hasn’t played since.

Oliver Dovin

The Sweden international goalkeeper joined League One Leyton Orient on deadline day but was an unused sub in his opening fixture for the O’s who drew 1-1 at Luton Town where Nathan Baxter was in goal. He then played in the Football League Trophy game against Arsenal Under-21s, losing 2-1, before suffering a suspected dislocated shoulder and returning to City for treatment.

Miguel Brau

The Spanish left-back joined Portuguese top flight side Academico de Viseu and made his debut from the bench in the 74th minute of a 1-0 win at Gil Vicente. To date he’s started two and been used from the bench twice for the club that currently sits in sixth place.

Norman Bassette

The lively striker joined Westerlo in the Belgian top flight at the beginning of the season and has made a promising start by scoring two goals in his first five games for the club. However, he’s hit top form since with a scoring streak of five in his last four matches, taking his total to seven goals in nine appearances.

Westerlo currently sit in seventh place but Bassette is joint top scorer in the division along with Club Brugge’s Nicolo Tresoldi.
