Birmingham City Faces Six Injury Concerns Ahead of Wrexham Clash
Birmingham City Prepares for Wrexham Clash Amid Injury Concerns
Birmingham City could be missing several key players for their crucial League One match against Wrexham on Thursday. The Blues, who lead the league, will face third-placed Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground. A win would give Birmingham an eight-point lead over Wrexham, with two games in hand.
However, manager Chris Davies may have to cope without four regular starters. Midfielders Paik Seung-ho and Tomoki Iwata are dealing with injuries, while attackers Willum Willumsson and Keshi Anderson are also sidelined. Additionally, Emil Hansson and long-term injury victim Lee Buchanan will miss the game.
Here’s the latest on the injured players:
- Paik Seung-ho: Paik has missed the last two matches due to a niggle. Davies is unsure if he’ll be available for the Wrexham game, but it looks like he could be out for one or two more weeks.
- Willum Willumsson: Injured in the match against Lincoln on January 11, Willumsson is expected to be out for a few weeks, possibly missing important games against Wrexham and Huddersfield.
- Tomoki Iwata: Iwata has also been sidelined due to an unspecified injury, missing games against Swindon and Exeter. He’s another doubt for the Wrexham clash.
- Keshi Anderson: After picking up an issue during the Boxing Day match, Anderson hasn’t played since. Davies has suggested that Anderson might return before the end of January, possibly in time for Thursday’s match.
- Emil Hansson: Hansson suffered a muscular injury in December and is still recovering, so he’s not expected to be available yet.
- Lee Buchanan: Buchanan is out for the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury sustained in the Blackpool match.
With these key absences, Birmingham City will be stretched as they aim to maintain their lead at the top of the table.
