Birmingham are boosted by the return of England goalkeeper Joe Hart for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League clash against Hull at St Andrew's.

On-loan Hart had to sit out last weekend's 5-1 defeat at Manchester City as he was not allowed to face his parent club, leaving Northern Ireland international Maik Taylor to take his place.

Birmingham Striker Cameron Jerome has had treatment for a back injury this week but is fit to lead the attack. Spanish midfielder Michel retains his place in the squad after Birmingham were successful in their appeal against his sending-off in last week's reserve team game against Chelsea.

Birmingham's squad for the Hull Clash is: Hart, Carr, Parnaby, Johnson, Dann, Ridgewell, Gardner, Larsson, Ferguson, Bowyer, Michel, Fahey, McFadden, Jerome, Benitez, Phillips, Tainio and Taylor.
