Chilean winger remains injured

Birmingham will still be without Jean Beausejour for their Premier League clash with Arsenal next week. The Chilean international joined The Blues on transfer deadline day, but he has endured a frustrating beginning to the new season and is yet to start a league match. He is currently sidelined with a knee ligament strain, but Blues boss Alex McLeish had hoped he would be back for next week's clash with Arsenal. "Jean came to us half fit and hadn't played many games and that is part of the problem when you sign players right at the end of the transfer window," said McLeish. "Now he's strained his medial ligament and we have to make sure we don't take any unnecessary risks with him. "He needs to rest to make sure he is right and he won't be available next weekend."
