McLeish has Birmingham injury woes for Bolton clash

Tomorrow's FA Cup quarter-final sees Birmingham City host Bolton Wanderers at St Andrews.

Blues boss Alex McLeish has some tinkering to do with his line-up with a growing injury list as he prepares his side to move into the final four of the famous competition.

Birmingham have mixed their form in their past few outings which has seen them take the Carling Cup away from Arsenal with a 2-1 win before losing 3-1 at home to lowly West Bromwich Albion and then drawing 1-1 at Everton during the week.

Tomorrow, the Blues are in danger of being without captain Stephen Carr, veteran Lee Bowyer, winger David Bentley, midfielder Keith Fahey, defender Liam Ridgewell and forwards Craig Gardner and Nikola Zigic whilst Bolton boss Owen Coyle has no new injuries to worry about.
