Birmingham captain Harlee Dean suspended for Fulham clash
Posted Thursday, November 07, 2019 by PA
Birmingham will be without captain Harlee Dean for the visit of Fulham as he starts a three-match suspension.
Defender Dean was shown a red card during stoppage time of last weekend’s 4-2 defeat at Cardiff, with the club unsuccessful in an appeal.
Forward Jeremie Bela signed on a free transfer after leaving Spanish Segunda Division side Albacete and has received international clearance so is in contention to make his debut.
Back-up goalkeeper David Stockdale (hand) and on-loan winger Jefferson Montero (thigh) have returned to training and are available, although midfielders Gary Gardner and Maikel Kieftenbeld (both knee) continue their recovery.
Fulham will have goalkeeper Marek Rodak back from a one-match suspension.
Rodak was sent off during their goalless draw at Middlesbrough, so Marcus Bettinelli came in for last weekend’s 3-0 home defeat by Hull.
Full-back Joe Bryan is not expected to feature having been forced off early on against Hull following an awkward fall.
Midfielder Harry Arter continues to be assessed after missing the past three matches with an unspecified injury.
