Episode Details

Ellis Simms has applied for a Polish passport and Poland are interested and watching, Andy Turner reports for CoventryLive on the back of reporting out of Poland. Poland's national team director Adrian Mierzejewski says Simms' documents are with the consulate and they are waiting on the passport; Polish reports say coach Kibu Vicuna, recently added to Jan Urban's staff, has been tasked with flying to England to watch him; head coach Urban told TVP Sport that Simms would be treated like anyone else once the paperwork clears, and that he is not Haaland but not some random player either. Simms, called up by England at Under-20 level and also eligible for Jamaica, qualifies for Poland through his Poland-born grandmother. He was not in the squad for Poland's three games this international break, against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania and Sweden, which CoventryLive puts down to the documents still being processed. Liam Kitching made his Republic of Ireland debut on Sunday in a 3-0 Nations League win over Israel, playing the full 90 minutes on the left of a back three after sitting on the bench for the defeat to Kosovo on the Thursday. He qualifies through a Kildare-born grandmother. Ireland head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson said Kitching would have been in the squad in the summer had the papers been processed sooner, and called him a brilliant person, a good character and a good leader, and a left-footed centre-back Ireland do not have many of. Kitching, a Coventry player, is at Sheffield United on a season-long loan and has played every minute of their four games so far. Carl Rushworth says the shackles are off after Coventry's first win of the season at Nottingham Forest, where he supplied the ball for Jay Dasilva's winner and, by his own account, had barely a save to make. There were no new club announcements out of Coventry City for a fourth day running. The ticket window for supporters with previous purchase history opens at 10am on Wednesday 30 September for Newcastle United at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Monday 12 October, 8pm. Play Up, Sky Blues!
