Demarai Gray misses Derby County match due to illness

Birmingham City manager Chris Davies confirmed winger Demarai Gray will sit out Saturday's match against Derby County. Gray is currently managing an unrelated medical issue that prevented his participation following a recent collision. While the winger is ruled out for this weekend, the club maintains hope he could be available for the upcoming match against Middlesbrough. Additionally, the team is monitoring the status of Jhon Solis and Patrick Roberts ahead of the Derby County trip. Both players are considered doubts, though their availability remains uncertain pending further training assessments. Davies noted that neither player has been definitively ruled out of the weekend roster at this stage.
