Fahey’s fitness boost for Euros

Birmingham City boss Chris Hughton insists midfielder Keith Fahey’s groin injury will not prevent him from making the Euro 2012 squad.

Fahey will miss the weekend’s game with Brighton and has struggled on and off with the injury since the start of the season, but Hughton expects him to be ready for the play-offs and sees no reason why the Dubliner will not be on the plane to Poland.

“I would be very surprised if he did [miss the Euros],” said the City boss. “The problem we have had with Keith is very much a management one. We have a season to complete and the problem that has really arose could be because of the volume of games so come the end of the season and come a recovery period I would see him being absolutely fine for the summer.”
