Duo set for Blues return

Birmingham’s leading scorer Nikola Zigic and midfielder Lee Bowyer are poised to return for tomorrow’s home Barclays Premier League clash with Bolton.

Eight-goal Zigic made his comeback from a groin injury by playing for Serbia in midweek.

Bowyer has resumed full training after recovering from a hamstring problem.

Playmaker Alexander Hleb could also be added to the squad after having an injection to ease his knee problem.

But central defender Martin Jiranek is doubtful after undergoing a minor toe operation.

Provisional squad: Foster, Doyle, Carr, Parnaby, Johnson, Jiranek, Davies, Ridgewell, Murphy, Larsson, Ferguson, Bowyer, Garner, Mutch, Beausejour, Fahey, Bentley, Jerome, Zigic, Martins, Phillips, Hleb.
