Birmingham defender Martin Jiranek is set to return for the Barclays Premier League clash with Everton at Goodison Park tomorrow evening.

The Czech Republic international was unavailable for the 3-1 home reversal against West Brom at the weekend with a thigh injury.

The midfield duo of Barry Ferguson (broken rib) and Craig Gardner (calf) are still sidelined with the injuries suffered during the Carling Cup final win over Arsenal.

Blues boss Alex McLeish will run a late fitness check over striker Nikola Zigic who missed the Baggies game with a groin problem, while defender Liam Ridgewell is expected to play despite needing an injection to ease a groin injury minutes before the kick-off against West Brom.

Birmingham (provisional squad): Foster, Carr, Jiranek, Johnson, Davies, Ridgewell, Beausejour, Larsson, Bowyer, Fahey, Bentley, Jerome, Martins, Zigic, Doyle, Taylor, Murphy, Phillips, Parnaby, Mutch.
