Birmingham City squad list revealed as three players replaced for League One run-in
Birmingham City have unveiled their squad list for the second half of the season with three alterations to accommodate their January additions.
Grant Hanley, Lee Myung-jae and Kieran Dowell were added to Blues’ squad in the winter window and they have been named in a 21-man strong list submitted to the EFL. Clubs are allowed a maximum of 22 players in a list which doesn’t include goalkeepers.
Ryan Allsop and Bailey Peacock-Farrell therefore haven’t been named in the squad. The same applies to Fulham loanee Luke Harris, 19, who falls into the under-21 category and doesn’t need to be named by Blues.

Blues have removed Lee Buchanan from their squad after the left-back suffered a season-ending injury in the game against Blackpool on December 29. Buchanan has started the long road to recovery from his knee injury at Blues’ training base in Henley-in-Arden.
Dion Sanderson, who has moved to Championship side Blackburn Rovers on loan for the remainder of the season, has also been removed and Blues have now dropped Tyler Roberts. Roberts was included in Blues’ squad list for the first half of the campaign despite being on loan at Northampton Town.
Blues’ submitted squad list…
Keshi Anderson, Krystian Bielik, Alex Cochrane, Ben Davies, Kieran Dowell, Lyndon Dykes, Taylor Gardner-Hickman, Grant Hanley, Emil Hansson, Tomoki Iwata, Lukas Jutkiewicz, Christoph Klarer, Ethan Laird, Lee Myung-jae, Marc Leonard, Alfie May, Paik Seung-ho, Alfons Sampsted, Jay Stansfield, Willum Willumsson, Scott Wright.
