Another “Down Fall” For Birmingham City As Coach Released Another Injury Update Ahead Of Wycombe Clash

Chris Davies gives Willum Willumsson injury update and allays Keshi Anderson fears

Willum Willumsson is a major doubt for Birmingham City’s trip to Wycombe Wanderers due to a knee injury.

The 25-year-old Iceland international missed Blues’ win at Charlton Athletic and there are no guarantees he will reclaim his place in the starting line-up at Adams Park. Willumsson had to be withdrawn in the League One opener against Reading after a pre-season knee complaint flared up.

Giving an update on the eve of the Wycombe match, Blues manager Chris Davies said: “Willumsson still has a knock. He is back in light training so we will see how he goes.”

One of the players who could take Willumsson’s place in the Blues XI, Keshi Anderson, appeared to be struggling in the closing stages of Tuesday’s game at The Valley. But Davies has swiftly moved to allay any fears of an injury to the in-form forward.

He added: “Keshi Anderson just had cramps. He obviously put in a huge effort physically in the week and was just cramping up in certain muscles. He’s fine.”

Wycombe have become accustomed to competing in the upper echelons of the League One table in recent years. The Chairboys have finished sixth, ninth and 10th respectively since their relegation from the Championship in 2021.

“They are really well organised and a team that is hard to beat,” Davies said at his pre-match press conference. “They are good on set pieces and have some experienced players, with a bit of power and quality up front as well. They are going to be difficult, especially at home where they are good.

“I have been watching a lot of them. They have some quality players and look like a really organised outfit, and obviously set pieces is a real strength of theirs.”
