The Seasiders have been hit with a number of injury problems since Steve Bruce was appointed as head coach at the beginning of September, and is one of the factors behind the club’s recent slump in form.
Hayden Coulson has become the latest addition to the list of absentees after limping off against Bolton Wanderers last weekend.
Ahead of their trip to the Fylde Coast on Sunday afternoon (K.O. 1pm), Birmingham also have players missing, but shouldn’t have any fresh concerns.
