Birmingham City dealt Keshi Anderson and Emil Hansson injury blows
Birmingham City will be without wide players Keshi Anderson and Emil Hansson for at least ‘a few weeks’ according to Chris Davies.
Anderson and Hansson both suffered injuries during Blues’ festive fixtures at St Andrew’s last week. In-form Anderson, who has registered five goals and seven assists this season, was withdrawn at half-time of the Boxing Day win over Burton and Hansson succumbed to pain in the 45th minute against Blackpool on Sunday.
The pair missed Blues’ 1-1 draw with Stockport on New Year’s Day with muscular injuries and are now set for a spell on the sidelines.

“Keshi and Emil will be a few weeks, I think Emil will be slightly longer than Keshi by the looks of things,” said Davies. “We’ve been unfortunate to lose two important players.”
Scott Wright made his long-awaited comeback as a substitute at Stockport after more than two months out with a calf issue. He was the only winger named in Blues’ squad after Davies decided to leave Ayumu Yokoyama at home.
Davies added: “But with Scott coming back, he got half-an-hour there having not played for two months, it’s going to take him time. He showed flashes of his quality so it’s a bonus we've got him back.”
