Birmingham vs Leeds United preview - Teenager Martin in Blues squad

Birmingham will include 15-year-old defender Josh Martin in their squad against Leeds.

The teenager missed school on Friday to train with the first team and would be Blues' youngest ever player should he feature.

Brek Shea is in line for his Birmingham debut after joining on a three-month loan from Stoke. The American winger has struggled to make an impact at the Britannia after a series of injuries and boss Lee Clark wanted to sign him permanently in the summer.

Lee Novak has been ruled out for a month with a knee injury while Olly Lee (hamstring) and Denny Johnstone (thigh) are both sidelined for up to two weeks.

Leeds' recent signing Adryan is in contention to make his debut for the club as caretaker boss Neil Redfearn takes charge of his second game.

The Brazilian midfielder, on a season-long loan from Flamengo, played for the Under-21s in midweek and is expected to be included on the substitutes' bench.

Striker Souleymane Doukara is expected to return to the squad followng his recovery from an ankle injury and Swiss defender Gaetano Berardi is avaialble again after missing the previous two games due to concussion.

Midfielder Luke Murphy and defender Sam Byram remain suspended and although international clearance is expected in time for striker Brian Montenegro and defender Dario Del Fabro, neither is likely to feature.
