Andy Cole A Doubt For Game v Us

<p class="big">Andy Cole has been ruled out of Birmingham's game against Burnley on Saturday with a hamstring injury.</p>

It was hoped the 35-year-old striker would be fit to make his first appearance for The Blues since joining on loan from Portsmouth in March.</p>

However, a recent scan has shown a tear to the muscle and he will now face another fitness check ahead of the Easter Monday clash with Barnsley at Oakwell.</p>

&quot;Scans showed up a small tear, which is disappointing for us and for Andy, of course,&quot; said manager Steve Bruce.</p>

&quot;We were hoping that he would be fine for the Burnley game, but it's not too serious, so hopefully he could be okay for Barnsley.&quot;</p>
