BLUES injury update

Blues boss Alex McLeish has today shed some light on the injury front going into Saturday's home clash against Charlton.

While Stephen Kelly has suffered a set back with his thigh injury there is positive news for the other injured players.

Franck Queudrue has recovered from the stomach bug he picked up which kept him out of last weekends derby clash at Forest and despite Liam Ridgewell suffering with a head cold he is also expected to be recovered for the visit of Charlton.

David Murphy played half a game for the reserves earlier this week however McLeish indicated that it would be too early to throw him back into the team after knee trouble.

In terms of Garry O'Connor and Stuart Parnaby they are weeks away rather than days even though they have began some light running. McLeish also spoke of the continuing progress of Gary McSheffrey and Damien Johnson.

"Gary McSheffrey is still on the treatment table but he is going to step things up a wee bit at the start of next week."

"Damien Johnson has been back training with us this week of course but he'll need reserve games and we'll take it step by step because he's been out a while and it was a big operation."
