Birmingham midfielder Aliou Cisse is facing a lengthy lay-off after he damaged ankle ligaments in training. The Senegal international had been expected to return to action on Saturday in the Premiership match against Chelsea after he was sidelined for three weeks with a calf injury.
However, he sustained the ankle problem in training on Friday and Blues boss Steve Bruce has revealed that the injury is expected to rule the player out for several weeks.
Cisse will undergo further scans on Monday to determine the extent of the problem.
