Coventry City boss Tony Mowbray hopes to extend the loan of Newcastle United striker Adam Armstrong.

The 18-year-old is currently on loan at Coventry until January 16 from the Magpies, who are 19th in the Premier League having scored just 14 goals in 14 games.

Mowbray said: "I think we all have to wait and see. I've had a few conversations with Steve McClaren and it's obviously not going as well as they'd hoped.

"Whether Steve wants to throw Adam into a Premier League mire that they find themselves in is another question.

"Whether it's the right time to throw an 18-year-old into the mix I'm not sure, particularly while he's scoring goals, building his confidence and belief.

"We'll wait and see, it's Newcastle's decision come January."
