Blues boosted by return of duo

Birmingham will be boosted by the return of club record signing David Dunn and defender Jamie Clapham for the home FA Cup clash with Wimbledon.

Midfield creator Dunn missed the goalless draw at Chelsea with a hamstring problem while Clapham has been sidelined for three weeks with a hamstring injury.

Leading scorer Mikael Forssell is available after not being able to play against Chelsea as part of the loan deal between the two clubs – and with Christophe Dugarry expected to return to full training next week after a knee injury, central defender Matthew Upson is now the only long-term casualty.

Provisional squad: Taylor, Tebily, Kenna, Purse, Cunningham, Lazaridis, Clapham, Johnson, Dunn, Savage, Clemence, Hughes, Morrison, John, Forssell, Kirovski, Carter, Bennett, Barrowman.
