On loan Town keeper Matteo Sereni picked up an injury as his Brescia side drew 0-0 with Roma on Saturday evening.

The keeper was replaced after 73 minutes suffering with a groin strain. Brescia are currently 12th in Serie A.

Town's other season-long loanee, Ulrich Le Pen, was not in action with his Strasbourg side this weekend as they are out of the French Cup.

The year-long loan agreements, as well as financial considerations, mean that the Blues cannot call either player back this season.

Town negotiated fees for Sereni and Le Pen payable next summer if their loan clubs then wish to sign them permanently.
