​Birmingham boss Bowyer provides injury update on Man Utd youngster Mengi

Birmingham City manager Lee Bowyer has provided an update on the fitness of Manchester United loanee Teden Mengi.

The 19-year-old defender did not manage to complete their Championship defeat against Bournemouth in midweek.

Mengi, who was starting his eighth successive game, was forced off with a hamstring problem.

Bowyer told Birmingham City's official website: "Young Tenden Mengi has just felt his hamstring there too.

"This division is ruthless and demanding and asks a lot of questions of you physically.

"You need the squad to cope with that."
