Birmingham City manager Chris Davies<\/p>\nChris Davies faced the media before Birmingham City’s clash with Swansea City in the ChampionshipBirmingham City manager Chris Davies<\/p>\n
Chris Davies reported no fresh Birmingham City<\/a> injuries before the Championship clash with Swansea City on Saturday lunchtime (12:30pm).<\/p>\n Blues have had the benefit of a week without a fixture to work on the training ground, whereas the Swans won a pulsating Carabao Cup tie against Nottingham Forest in the 97th minute on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n In addition to long-term absentees Lee Buchanan and Scott Wright, Blues were without attacking duo Keshi Anderson and Willum Willumsson for their last league fixture<\/a> and the same four players will be missing at St Andrew\u2019s this weekend.<\/p>\n In the case of Willumsson,<\/a> the Icelandic returned from international duty last week unscathed only to suffer an injury in Blues\u2019 preparation for Stoke.<\/p>\n Davies said: \u201cHe got injured with us when he came back. It was surprising that he picked something up. Sadly, it\u2019s cost him a few weeks. It\u2019s not a long-term thing.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a shame because he offers something different, but it gives other people a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n New signing Jack Robinson is among those looking to force their way into Davies\u2019 starting XI. The experienced defender can play at centre-back or left-back in Blues\u2019 system and captained Sheffield United in the play-off final in May.<\/p>\n Davies added: \u201cThankfully, we\u2019ve only got two current injuries at the moment. They\u2019ve all trained well. Jack has been training well and a few others that haven\u2019t started a game have been training well so it gives me things to think about.<\/p>\n \u201cAgain, there\u2019s always that balance between over-rotating and getting that right. Whatever team plays, I want to make sure that they look like us.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re at home, we want that really proactive style of play that has served us so well and that\u2019s what we\u2019re hoping to do on the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n Should Robinson start against Swansea?
