Birmingham manager Alex McLeish says he is hopeful of having Christian Benitez available for the FA Cup clash with Derby.
The Ecuador international missed the midweek defeat to West Ham with an ankle injury but will at least be on the bench for the trip to Pride Park on Saturday.
McLeish is also considering whether to bring back James McFadden and Sebastien Larsson after they sat out the trip to Upton Park, or stick with Craig Gardner and Keith Fahey.
Full-back David Murphy and midfielder Teemu Tainio have both returned to training now but won't be considered for the game against the Championship side.
