Keshi Anderson of Birmingham City<\/p>\n
Chris Davies has revealed Willum Willumsson<\/a> and Keshi Anderson missed Birmingham City\u2019s<\/a> defeat to Stoke City through injury.<\/p>\n Iceland international Willumsson and left-winger Anderson<\/a> were surprise omissions from the squad that travelled to the Bet365 Stadium on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n Davies<\/a> also confirmed that summer signing Kanya Fujimoto was left out of the 20-man squad despite being fit. Fujimoto hasn\u2019t featured in the Championship yet and hasn\u2019t made the squad in three of Blues\u2019 five fixtures.<\/p>\n Blues returned to the Second City with nothing to show for their efforts after Bosun Lawal netted the only goal of the game for the Potters.<\/p>\n Asked for an update on the trio of absentees, Davies delivered some bad news: \u201cWillumsson is injured, Keshi is injured, Kanya was just not involved in the squad today.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThose two look like they will be unavailable until the next international break.\u201d<\/p>\n Willumsson and Anderson join Blues\u2019 long-term absentees Lee Buchanan and Scott Wright in the treatment room.<\/p>\n It looks as though Davies will be without the duo for at least Blues\u2019 next four matches before the October international break.<\/p>\n What do Blues need to do to be more of a goal threat?
