Luckless Emil Wembley heartbreak

EMIL Hansson is a major doubt for Blues’ trip to Wembley after picking up an injury in training earlier this week.

Hansson was absent for the midweek win at Bristol Rovers and looks set to sit out the meeting with Barnsley at St Andrew’s tomorrow.

The 26-year-old Swede has already missed two chunky spells this season with muscular injuries but manager Chris Davies believes the winger will play again before the final day of the League One campaign on May 3.

Blues’ date with Peterborough in the Vertu Trophy final next weekend could well come too soon for Hansson, though.

Davies said: “Frustratingly for Emil and us, he picked up a bit of a knock in training the day before the (Rovers) game, so that’s disappointing.

“It’s not a season-ender, it will be a few weeks maximum. We’ll have to see how he goes in the next few days.”
