Cardiff City v Birmingham City: Confirmed Lineups – January signing Kerim Frei benched again

Birmingham City are in search of just their third win since Gianfranco Zola took charge of the team when they take on Cardiff City at the Cardiff City stadium.

Zola has decided to leave Turkish international winger Kerim Frei on the bench yet again.

Frei did play 45 minutes last week but has made just two starts since joining in January.

The 23-year-old winger joined the Blues in pursuit of regular first team football but has struggled for a starting role despite joining on a £1.9 million (Transfermarkt) move from the Turkish champions.

Birmingham City are also without striker Clayton Donaldson who has yet to make a full recovery.

The Blues are currently eight points above the drop zone with 10 games left.

Zola will have to start improving results if he wants to avoid being involved in an end of season relegation scrap.
