Sebastian Larsson set to leave Blues

Birmingham midfielder Sebastian Larsson will leave St Andrew's this summer after five years at the club.

The Sweden international has appeared destined for the Blues exit door for some time, as his contract is set to expire at the end of the season.

And his agent Per Jonsson hit out at the club for their lack of willingness to enter into negotiations over a new contract.

He said: "The new owners have no feelings for Sebastian and they need to realise that there has been a problem there.

"They might have seen that but they haven't found a way around it."

Villa are among the clubs likely to make a move for Larsson in the summer.

Back at St Andrew's, Birmingham are hopeful defender Roger Johnson will be fit for this weekend's crucial home clash with Sunderland.

Johnson suffered concussion in the weekend draw at Blackburn and had to be taken off at half-time - much to his irritation.

Blues manager Alex McLeish said: "I had to drag him off. The doctor felt there was concussion and Roger was a bit groggy.

"We don't think it's too severe and, hopefully, he will get over it for the weekend."
