Birmingham hope to welcome back midfielder Keith Fahey for the visit of Crystal Palace
The Republic of Ireland international has missed City's last three games against Cardiff, Doncaster and Burnley with a groin complaint but returned to full training on Thursday.
Defenders Stephen Carr (knee), Jonathan Spector (thigh) and Pablo Ibanez (hamstring) all remain unavailable, although the latter pair continue to make good progress and could well return after the Easter programme.
Blues strengthened their grip on a play-off place by winning their game in hand at Turf Moor in midweek, sealing back-to-back 3-1 victories.
Manager Chris Hughton could however be tempted to rest a couple of his players against Palace with Easter Monday's trip to promotion rivals West Ham in mind, with the likes of Erik Huseklepp, Andros Townsend and Nathan Redmond pushing for recalls.
