Birmingham City manager Harry Redknapp will have to make at least one change to his starting line up this weekend after it was announced that defender Paul Robinson would serve a three match ban following an incident that was followed up by the FA.
In last weekends clash with local rivals Aston Villa, Robinson clashed with James Chester with the Blues captain appearing to punch and kick the Villa defender and now the 38-year-old will have to sit out the rest of the season.
With the suspension being confirmed this morning by the club and the FA, Redknapp will now be forced into changing his back line for the game against Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon.
Blues fans have sold out the game against the Terriers and will be interested to see who could potentially replace veteran Robinson alongside Ryan Shotton.
It is likely that Redknapp will recall on loan Arsenal defender Kyrstian Bielik but the former Portsmouth manager also has other options at his disposal should he choose to leave Bielik out.
Redknapp could choose to push Jonathan Grounds to centre back and play Cheick Keita at left back, something which many fans might actually encourage.
The 70-year-old could also potentially bring in one of the clubs academy players with the likes of Dan Cleary knocking on the door of the first team.
It remains unclear who Redknapp will bring in but come 2pm on Saturday afternoon, all will be revealed.
