Birmingham defender Scott Dann has admitted he will be sidelined with a torn hamstring until the end of the season. The 24-year-old is due to step up his rehabilitation in the next few days with a view to returning to full training next month.
"All being well, I will be training before the end of the season, but it may be too soon to play," said Dann.
"It's going well at the minute. I am in the gym doing a lot of strengthening work, building my muscles back up, and I hope to start running next week.
"This is the longest I have been out but it has gone quicker than I thought it was going to.
"The physios have helped me a lot and it's about getting it right from now on and not rushing and making sure I come back stronger.
"If everything goes to plan I will be back training in early May.
"But, when you have been out for so long, you need to train for a couple of weeks then get your match fitness back. In the position we are in the players need to be right on their mettle."
