The Sky Blues narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League last summer - as Mark Robins' side suffered a dramatic penalty shoot-out defeat to Luton Town in the play-off final at Wembley.

The pre-season friendly will take place on July 22 at 3pm, and will be the first time the Sky Blues have visited the Meadow since a League One clash in 2019.

That day, current Salop midfielder Jordan Shipley handed Coventry the lead with Scott Golbourne levelling, before Shaun Whalley netted a 90th minute winner.

The latest pre-season announcement comes after it was confirmed newly promoted League Two side Notts County will travel to the Meadow on July 29.
