Birmingham City v Hull City injury news as eight out and one doubt – gallery

Latest injury and team news ahead of the EFL Championship clash between Birmingham City and Hull City at St Andrew’s on Wednesday, October 25.

In the first home game of the Wayne Rooney era, Birmingham City hosts Hull City at St Andrew’s, looking to improve on their performance from the previous game.

The former Manchester United player received a wake-up call over the weekend when he lost 1-0 at Riverside Stadium to Michael Carrick, his former colleague. Rooney’s tenure got off to a losing start when Morgan Rogers scored in the 88th minute.

As a result of Boro’s victory, they were forced to drop one spot to eighth.

Hull City, Southampton’s opponents on Wednesday, met a similar end when they gave up a goal in stoppage time.

After Will Smallbone’s first goal, Liam Delap pulled one back, but Ryan Fraser, a Newcastle United loanee, scored in the fifth minute of injury time to take maximum points back to the South Coast.

Rooney faces another well-known opponent in his second game in charge: Liam Rosenior. The two collaborated at Derby County, where Rooney gave Rosenior his coaching debut. After Rooney left for DC United, Rosenior went on to lead the Rams.

Given that several teams below them, including West Brom and Cardiff City, play a day earlier than Birmingham, they might be surpassed on Tuesday. If they win on Wednesday and other results go their way, they may even finish as high as fourth and reclaim a top-six position with just over a quarter of the 46-game season remaining.

Here is the most recent information on injuries and the Birmingham City club Hull City camps.
