Frei was not really given time to make much of an impact but did manage to make a brief appearance after not featuring last week against Wolves.
We took a look at how Birmingham City fans reacted to Frei on social media.
What immediately stood out was how many fans thought Frei looked overweight. Perhaps he needs to stay off the pies?
If he is indeed a tad overweight it might be the reason head coach Gianfranco Zola has not given him a start recently.
Kerim Frei looks a tad fat and Cogley is just not up to it. Need Morrison back and Beilik starting if this defence is gonna work #bcfc

@21KerimFrei Kerim frei looks over weight to me. Looks off the pace. We should have won. Poor defensively again. #sameold #bcfc

Why does Kerim Frei look so chubby

Fashion faux-pas or a new trend? Frei’s ankle-swinging tracksuits divided opinion. We just aren’t convinced that it will catch on.

Frei has started just two of his nine appearances in the league since joining from Besiktas over the winter transfer window.
Zola was questioned regarding why the Blues signed Frei if he is just going to sit on the bench.
Quick question thought before I go home, why sign a winger and leave him on the bench? #bcfc
