Upson To Miss Big Game

Blues have been dealt a blow ahead of their big relegation battle with West Bromwich Albion after being told that Matthew Upson is highly unlikely to take part in the fixture. Martin Latka though will return.

England defender Matty Upson will almost definately miss out on Birmingham's relegation clash with West Brom on Saturday.

Upson has been sidelined with a pelvic problem since limping out of the home game against Arsenal at the beginning of February. The club have tried to speed up the healing process by issuing a number of injections but the game looks to be too early for Upson.

Club captain Kenny Cunningham will also miss out again, although he is back in training.

Some good news for the Blues though is that on loan defender Martin Latka will return to the side after a gashed shin kept him out of the last two fixtures. Latka should come straight back into the team in place of Alex Bruce.
