Blues hit by Hunt call back
Tuesday 30th December 2008, 11:03AM GMT.
Defender Nicky Hunt has had his loan spell at Birmingham cut short with Bolton invoking their 24-hour recall clause.
The England under-21 full-back was due to stay until after Blues’ Championship clash with Blackpool on January 10.
But Gary Megson has now called him back to the Reebok Stadium because of injuries and suspensions in the Wanderers squad.
Hunt would not have been eligible to play in the FA Cup tie versus Wolves at the weekend.
Alex McLeish will now hope Republic of Ireland international Stephen Kelly can continue stepping up his training having not played since September due to a thigh injury.
