Birmingham City Team News

Chris Davies faces selection headaches ahead of the trip to Ewood Park with new signing Marvin Ducksch still recovering from a calf injury. The German striker, who joined from Werder Bremen for €2 million, is expected to be sidelined for another couple of weeks according to the Birmingham manager.

Midfielder Tomoki Iwata’s injury is not as serious as first feared but he remains doubtful for the weekend fixture. Scott Wright remains unavailable with an ongoing injury, while young midfielder Kanya Fujimoto continues his recovery from a knee problem. On a positive note, Jay Stansfield showed no ill effects from his goal-scoring return against Ipswich and is expected to lead the line. Summer acquisitions Kyogo Furuhashi, Demarai Gray, and Tommy Doyle are all available after impressing in the season opener.
