Coventry manager Chris Coleman is adamant striker Michael Mifsud remains part of his plans.
The Malta international came close to leaving the club when he handed in a transfer request last month.
Championship rivals Bristol City agreed a deal with the Sky Blues for the frontman but the move collapsed at the last minute, leaving Mifsud in limbo.
He returned to the Coventry side for Wednesday's Carling Cup win against Aldershot and, following his performance in the first round tie, Coleman is happy to keep the diminutive forward.
"This season is about Coventry City, the team and the squad we are going to use all our players because we have 45 games left," Coleman told Sky Sports News.
"We want Michael Mifsud to stay here and play with us. If Michael keeps giving us that performance and that level of commitment only a fool would leave him out of the squad and I am not a fool."
