In the latest Birmingham City news reported by BirminghamLive, Wayne Rooney discusses the progress of Ethan Laird’s recovery from injury. Laird, the summer signing for Birmingham City, has been sidelined for a two-month period due to a hamstring injury sustained during a match against Bristol City. This extended absence allowed Cody Drameh to establish himself as the regular right-back in the team.
However, according to Rooney, Laird is now nearing a return to action. Although he may not be back for the upcoming match against Middlesbrough, he could soon be in contention for Championship matches.
In an update on the team’s injured players, Rooney mentioned that Ethan Laird is the closest to returning and was recently on the training pitch, indicating a potential comeback within the next week. Rooney emphasized that Laird’s return would be a significant boost for the team due to his exceptional abilities.
Additionally, the article mentions that several other players, including Lee Buchanan, George Hall, Keshi Anderson, Tyler Roberts, and Alfie Chang, are currently unavailable to Rooney due to various injuries. Notably, Lee Buchanan, a key defender, is no longer wearing a protective boot after injuring his ankle during training three weeks ago. Rooney clarified that there have been no significant changes in the status of these injured players, and he distanced himself from any conflicting messages from previous reports.
