Lyons on sidelines for Brummies

Birmingham captain Jason Lyons faces a spell on the sidelines with a broken collarbone after crashing out of the Knockout Cup tie with Rye House.

Lyons was trying hard to pass Tommy Allen in Heat 5 when the accident happened.

King's Lynn's Czech Republic ace Tomas Topinka quickly agreed to step in as a guest replacement for tonight's trip to Redcar in Premier League action.

Redcar: Gary Havelock, Joni Keskinen R/R, James Grieves, John Branney, Ty Proctor, Josh Auty, Scott James.

Birmingham: Adam Roynon R/R, Lee Smart, Tomas Topinka, Craig Watson, Andrew Tully, Jack Hargreaves, James Birkinshaw.
