Maikel Kieftenbeld returns to contention for Birmingham
Posted Friday, April 05, 2019 by PA
Birmingham will have Maikel Kieftenbeld back in contention for the visit of title-chasing Leeds.
The midfielder missed the defeat to West Brom last weekend after falling ill ahead of the trip to the Hawthorns.
Kieftenbeld’s return to fitness, coupled with those of Marc Roberts and Charlie Lakin, means Blues boss Garry Monk has no injury issues as he prepares to face his former club.
Jota is pushing for a starting place after making substitute appearances in the last two matches.
Leeds are boosted by the return of Kemar Roofe, but Barry Douglas is set for a spell on the sidelines.
Forward Roofe, who has scored 14 goals this season, has been out for seven weeks with a knee injury.
Douglas suffered a serious knee injury during the dramatic home win against Millwall last weekend and the left-back will not play again this campaign after undergoing an operation.
On-loan Chelsea attacker Izzy Brown is fully fit after a minor injury but goalkeeper Kiko Casilla is suspended.
