Early Buddies exit for Birchall
Birchall shows off his new St Mirren kit back in August
Birchall made nine appearances for St Mirren
Injury has brought a premature end to Chris Birchall's loan spell at St Mirren and the midfielder has returned to troubled Coventry City.

The Trinidad and Tobago international picked up a hamstring injury in the 5-1 defeat to Falkirk.

And Buddies boss Gus MacPherson told the club website: "It looks as if he will be out of action for a minimum of four weeks so has decided to go back."

Cash-strapped Coventry have announced plans to go into administration.

The 23-year-old arrived in Paisley in August and made nine appearances for St Mirren.

Birchall, capped 26 times, spent five years at Port Vale before signing for Coventry for �300,000 in 2006.
