Bruce may make changes for Hereford game

Birmingham manager Steve Bruce is said to be considering changes to his starting eleven for the Carling Cup game against Hereford United tomorrow evening. A few of his players who are also internationals have had five games in thirteen days and with a Premiership game next Saturday at Middlesborough he may rest several of them.

Reports suggest that Mat Sadler, Neil Danns, Rowan Vine, Olivier Tebily, Colin Doyle and Franck Queudrue may be in contention for a place against the Bulls. Others such as Fabrice Muamba, Gary McSheffrey and Mikael Forssell may be rested.

Meanwhile Graham Turner may have to give John McCombe a start if captain Karl Broadhurst hasn't recovered from his knee injury sustained last Saturday.

Otherwise the Hereford manager is said to have a fully fit squad to choose from for the game.
