West Ham U23s captain Coventry will be looking to add to his 13 appearances for the Republic of Ireland’s U21s.
The midfielder played an important part in the Boys in Green’s impressive qualification efforts for this year’s U21 Euros tournament - a campaign they ultimately narrowly fell short in.
Coventry received his inaugural call-up to Republic of Ireland senior squad in March, but did not make his first appearance.
The 21-year-old has been in excellent form for the Irons' U23s side this season, scoring charts seven goals in 20 appearances for the development squad as they retained their Premier League 2 Division 1 status.
