\"BirminghamBirmingham City goalkeeper James Beadle<\/p>\n

Birmingham City could be without James Beadle<\/a> until the New Year after Chris Davies<\/a> confirmed the goalkeeper has suffered an ankle injury.<\/p>\n

Beadle missed Blues\u2019 1-1 draw with Charlton at St Andrew\u2019s @ Knighthead on Saturday<\/a> after picking up the injury at Queens Park Rangers in midweek.<\/p>\n

Ryan Allsop<\/a> replaced Beadle<\/a> between the sticks to make his first appearance since September but he couldn\u2019t keep his third clean sheet of the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cJames Beadle has an ankle injury,\u201d Davies said. \u201cHe picked it up within the game against QPR but continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know the exact (length). It\u2019s not a long one from my understanding but I think there\u2019s liaisons with Brighton being his parent club. We need to link up with them and work on a plan together.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy understanding is that it\u2019s not a long-term injury, it\u2019s two or three games I think, but we need to get more confirmation next week about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blues travel to a rejuvenated Sheffield United next weekend before a home double-header against Derby County and Southampton to round off 2025.<\/p>\n

Davies threw his weight behind Beadle pre-Charlton<\/a> after errors in defeats to Southampton and QPR but Allsop now has the chance to re-establish himself as number one over Christmas<\/a>.<\/p>\n
