Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish is backing Chucho Benitez to prove his worth in the coming weeks.

With Ecuador's international programme now over, Benitez can settle down at St Andrews, says Eck.

After their victory over Wigan Athletic, McLeish told bcfc.com: "Cameron (Jerome)'s partnership with Chucho up front continues to develop and the fact that the latter now doesn't have to travel to and fro across the Atlantic for Ecuador games frequently has allowed him to become more integrated at the club and that is showing."
