Jordan Cousins
Image: Jordan Cousins: Could return after hamstring problem

Charlton could be boosted by the return of Jordan Cousins, Chris Solly and Patrick Bauer for the visit of Birmingham.

Cousins missed the 3-0 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday last time out with a hamstring complaint while Solly has been sidelined since the beginning of February with an ankle injury.

Summer signing Bauer has been out since December with a groin problem, but all three are back in training and could play a part.

However, Reza Ghoochannejhad suffered a hamstring injury on international duty with Iran and will miss out.

Birmingham are waiting on new loan signing Kyle Lafferty after he was injured on international duty.

The Norwich striker, who joined Blues last week, suffered a groin problem in Northern Ireland's 1-0 win over Slovenia but boss Gary Rowett is hopeful he could be involved.

Rowett will also check on Clayton Donaldson and Jaques Maghoma when they return on Friday after linking up with their countries.
