Birmingham City team news
Interim coach Mark Venus said over the weekend that Krystian Bielik and Mark Roberts were nursing injuries. Bielik did not feature in the game against Ipswich Town and was due to return this weekend, but has now been sidelined for some time.
He has suffered a torn abdominal muscle and is expected to be sidelined for “a number of weeks” and could be sidelined until after the international break due to the high pace and intensity of the games. Compatriot Mark Roberts was left out of the squad for Saturday’s game against Ipswich after being diagnosed with a calf problem. Venus admitted it would be “days” rather than weeks for Roberts, so he could potentially return for this weekend’s game against Millwall, although it is probably a doubt for Hull.
Alfie Chan is the only player Birmingham could do without. He suffered a season-ending injury early in the season under manager John Eustace, but is now recovering after signing a new contract under two managers. George Hall returned to action against Southampton at the weekend after being sidelined for the past six months with a hamstring problem.
Dion Sanderson received a red card in the loss to Southampton and will miss the game. Birmingham are expected to appeal the decision while assessing their own video evidence.
Absent: Alfie Chan, Dion Sanderson, Christian Bielik, Questionable: Mark Roberts. Irish striker Aaron Connolly is a doubt for Hull. He injured his foot against West Brom in February and did not feature in Saturday’s goalless draw with Preston North End. Connolly has not been able to pick up the pace in recent months and his last appearance was in the FA Cup against Birmingham in early January.
He has only played 107 minutes in league play this year and has not been substituted in three straight league games. “The most frustrating thing for me in the game against Aaron was the dead leg, because we set the game on Tuesday to train the players who were on the bench and to train the players who didn’t get much playing time,” Rosenior said. He spoke on Hull Live. . .
“Every player on the team needs to be ready to come out and press and play at the level that we expect at the end of the season. So Aaron missed that game, so he We need to make up for it.” “In my opinion, he needs to be sharper. It’s not because of the way he trains.
He just didn’t play a single game. If you’re sick and our team is perfectly prepared, you have to be in shape and that’s what it is. He’s working really hard so we’ll make a decision on Monday (assuming Connolly arrives on Tuesday).
Forward Liam Delap will be sidelined after suffering a knee injury in January. The striker, who is on loan at Manchester City, is expected to be out for three months and has headed to a warm-weather training camp in Spain to get fit.
