I think Robins recalled Eccles for extra cover and that he clearly sees eccles in his plans for the future so he will likely feature on the bench as a back up along with sheaf and Shippley but if he goes out on loan again I will be surprised as we recalled him from a team that he was playing a decent amount of games the only reason I can think of is to send him to a better team which will play him that is if we do loan him back out which I don’t think will happen

He can play for us in the Cup. Unlike James who wasn’t signed a week before the cup tie.

I suspect it’s a sign that we will field a back up team on Saturday and if the DM article is correct he may get a second loan later in the month.

Eccles can't have another loan this season. Already played for both us and Gillingham. As long as James is signed by tomorrow at 12 he is eligible which if course he is

Club have confirmed James is available for Saturday

Is the reason we didn’t bring back Drysdale because is dad Darren Drysdale is referring us on Saturday? https://www.thefa.com/news/2020/dec/22/emirates-fa-cup-third-round-officials-confirmed-221220

My mistake he is eligible. Apologies.
Do we have any further information on whether the Daily Mail article suggesting the suspension of the can’t play for three clubs in a single season rule is accurate?

I think the Daily Mail were wrong (shock, horror). It's contradicted by both the FIFA & EFL websites.

With the amount of injuries and potential illnesses it makes sense to have someone like Eccles on the bench. He can play in a few positions too. As someone mentioned earlier it would be a great opportunity to be around James as part of his development.

Referring us for what?

The article on the official suggests he will link up with the squad on Saturday. Wouldn't be surprised if hes kept around, extra body in the building whilst Covid increases etc

Or he has covid and Robins has recalled him to infect the rest of the squad so we can postpone some games and get the injured players closer to recovery.

Eccles was on the bench for Gills in FA cup first round match but didnt come on. No idea if that effects whether he can play Saturday!

If that’s the case he can play Saturday.

The midfielder that we (Baka, was it?) knobbled in the cup game and they signed Eccles to replace has just returned to full training, so maybe MR thinks (or has been told) that Eccles will get less game time when O'Keefe returns for Gills.

Robins is looking to send Eccles back on loan again if possible.

Unless he's somehow unaware of the current regulations I presume that means the rules have been temporarily amended and players are now permitted to play for 3 clubs in a season.

A couple of 'if possibles' in there though so slightly ambiguous.

INTERVIEW: Mark Robins Talks Matty James and Transfer Window

The Sky Blues added Matty James to the squad earlier this week and City boss Mark Robins spoke about the role he sees the midfielder playing at Coventry.

I'd have thought Eccles will be back-up for most of this month just in case then go out on loan again at the end of the window.
