On-loan Blues centre-half Elkan Baggott made his first League One appearance since August for Blackpool in Saturday’s 2-2 home draw with Huddersfield.
The 22-year-old Indonesia international came off the bench in first-half injury time, replacing former Blues loanee Matt Pennington, who had picked up a knock.
Baggott was making only his third league appearance for the Seasiders having suffered an ankle injury in August and then a thigh problem in November after a 45-minute return an EFL Trophy tie.
The Colchester-raised defender, whose Town contract is up this summer but with the club having an option for a further year, is on a season-long loan at Bloomfield Road.
