Birmingham City star puts on brave face amid injury concern during Leicester clash
There was a worry for a Birmingham City player during the game away at Leicester City in the Championship.
Birmingham winger Demarai Gray appeared to play through an injury away at Leicester after suffering several knocks during the first half.
‘Dimmy’, facing his former club under the lights at the King Power Stadium, put on a brave face and carried on despite being in clear discomfort. Gray twice went down for treatment in the opening 25 minutes, first for what appeared to be a dead left leg following a challenge from Abdul Fatawu and then for a possible shoulder or collar bone problem.
The latter proved more problematic for Gray, who had been tightly marked and roughly challenged in the opening exchanges. Gray was running awkwardly with his left arm by his side and he was unable to thrust himself into too many duels from that point on.
When he spoke to the medical staff, he kept pointing to his shoulder or collarbone area as they tried to diagnose the problem. Davies didn’t take Gray off, so it’s unlikely to be a serious issue, but it was enough to make things awkward for the winger. An update should emerge in the post-match press conference, so stay tuned.
