Birmingham City owner Tom Wagner will miss this tie as he recovers from a stroke. The 56-year-old American, who took control of the Blues in 2023, has stepped back from his daily responsibilities “for a period of time”.

Birmingham issued a statement, external last Wednesday saying: “Thanks to rapid medical intervention, he received immediate treatment and is now receiving excellent care. We are pleased to share that he is making a good recovery.

“Tom remains closely connected to the club, and we all look forward to welcoming him back.”

There’s a message on the big screen at today’s game that reads: ‘Get Well Soon, Tom – Keep Right On’.
