Fit-again Kelly set to start for Blues
Feb 27 2007 By Colin Tattum, Birmingham Mail
STEVE Bruce has welcomed Stephen Kelly back into the fold.
Despite having recovered his fitness after a calf injury at the start of the month, Bruno N'Gotty's form at right-back has kept him out.
But Radhi Jaidi's sending-off at Hull City meant a reshuffle and Kelly came on as 39th minute substitute and will start tonight against Leeds United.
Said the Blues boss: "We haven't got much defensive cover. Jaidi misses the next two games.
"Kelly, obviously, comes straight back into the reckoning and I thought he did OK on his return on Saturday as a substitute. He gave us a bit of solidity."
Winger Gary McSheffrey injured his knee, which reduced his effectiveness.
Bruce rued: "McSheffrey got a whack on his knee and I should have taken him off really, if I'm being honest. But after we were 1-0 down I wanted people like him on there to, if we could, score a goal."
