Sky Blues summer signing Raphael Borges Rodrigues has made his long-awaited comeback from injury.
The Dutch-born Australia Under-23 international winger joined Coventry from A-League side Macarthur in May but suffered a thigh injury in his first appearance of pre-season against Port Vale.
He was named on the right flank in the Coventry under-21 side, which also featured Fabio Tavares, to face Barnsley’s under-21s at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Tuesday afternoon.
Raphael was denied a goal on his return when Barnsley’s goalkeeper foiled his stinging drive from distance shortly after the half-hour.
The 21-year-old was substituted with the Sky Blues trailing 2-0 just after the hour mark but the hosts fought back to draw 2-2 with two Joseph McCallum goals.
