Birmingham City face loan headache over Nicky Hunt
“Nicky reported in on Monday okay and it seems it was just a strain, so he should be ready for Saturday. It’s now a bit of a dilemma for me because he has done well for us, Saturday’s the last game of his loan, and Stuart is now fit.
“I will have to speak [to the board] about it [the loan] because although Stuart has been excellent for us this season, do I take the risk and hope there is no injury in the next month or so?
“I think with six games in the month, maybe we need to cover ourselves and have as strong a squad as possible.
“Nicky is a quality player and he has brought Premier League experience to us in his time here.”
Kelly is still a couple of weeks away after suffering a secondary tear in his thigh during rehabilitation.
McLeish added that winger Sebastian Larsson was ready to return to the fray this weekend.
