Chile international Jean Beausejour will miss Birmingham City's Premier League clash with Arsenal next weekend because of a knee ligament injury.
The 26-year-old, who impressed for his country at this summer's World Cup finals in South Africa, has made only one start for the Blues so far this season, the Carling Cup victory against MK Dons, because of a lack of match fitness.
The £3.3million summer signing is now struggling to recover from a knee ligament strain.
Boss Alex McLeish said:"Jean came to us half-fit and hadn't played many games and that is part of the problem when you sign players right at the end of the transfer window.
"Now he's strained his medial ligament and we have to make sure we don't take any unnecessary risks with him. He needs to rest to make sure he is right and he won't be available next weekend."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
