Hopefully we will see him in the next two or three weeks. He is back, his levels of fitness are up there and he is doing really well again.

Roberts hurt his thigh against Cardiff, while Graham picked up a bang against Norwich – but Gordon, who along with Jordan James was the main breakthrough candidate of last season, has not played yet this term.Įustace said: “Nico is very close to being back on the grass with the sports science team, so everyone is working in the right direction.

#RESTAURANT PARADISE GAME PINK AND BLUE HOUSE UPDATE#
Speaking ahead of Saturday’s Championship match with Wigan Athletic the Birmingham City head coach provided a fitness update on the frustratingly large group of senior players who are currently carrying knocks. John Eustace hopes to have three of his first team squad back ‘in two-to-three weeks’. Subs: Etheridge, Friend, Leko, Chang, Deeney, Cosgrove, Bellingham.

Josh Williams and Przemyslaw Placheta start at wing backs. That means John Ruddy remains in goal, with Dion Sanderson playing in the middle of a back three flanked by Maxime Colin and Auston Trusty. Otherwise the team which battled so hard against the Hornets goes again against opponents who have drawn all three of their matches since their return to the Championship.
