Krystian Bielik and Alex Pritchard’s return to training is certainly a welcome development for Birmingham City,
particularly as they gear up to face Southampton. Bielik’s absence due to a groin issue last week was felt, but it seems he’s recovered well from the small tear detected in the scan. Pritchard, who has been out with a calf strain for four weeks, has also resumed training.
Their potential inclusion in the squad against Southampton could provide a significant boost to interim boss Mark Venus. Bielik’s presence in the center-back position, where he had been a consistent starter before his injury, could bolster the defensive line. Pritchard, known for his experience and versatility, might need to compete for his place in the team due to the good form of other players like Tyler Roberts, Jordan James, and Juninho Bacuna.
Venus is optimistic about Pritchard’s potential impact, highlighting his familiarity with the league, his position, and the team’s style of play. He also praises Pritchard’s personality, describing him as driven and a winner, qualities that could greatly benefit the team. The manager acknowledges Pritchard’s absence has been noticeable since his arrival at the club, but he’s hopeful that with his return to fitness, Pritchard can contribute effectively for the remainder of the season.
