Guinean international defender Drissa Diallo is expected to be back in action within the next fortnight. Diallo has been on the sidelines since before the Christmas period with a hamstring injury sustained in training.

Physio Dave Williams told the club site: "Drissa has been working well and making progress all the time.

"If he carries on as he is, he should be back in full training in two weeks and ready to play."

Diallo, who celebrates his 32nd birthday next Tuesday, has made 25 appearances for the Blues this season.
