Important defender Dion Sanderson will not be available for Tuesday night’s crucial matchup between Birmingham City and Hull City under the lights at MKM Stadium.
The Blues lost 4-3 at St Andrew’s in an exciting match that saw referee James Bell send Sanderson off the field for a challenge on midfielder Will Small bone just after the hour. Despite the setback, the Blues are now 20th in the Championship, one of four teams tied with Stoke City for the final relegation spot on 38 points.
Due to his consecutive red card, skipper Sanderson will now miss the following three games; therefore, Tuesday night’s trip to City will be his first absence.
Caretaker manager Mark Venus, filling in for Tony Mowbray as the Blues boss recovers from illness, voiced his disapproval of what turned out to be a critical choice.
