Duo Set to Revive Partnership at Leicester Saturday, 24th Dec 2011 16:22
Ívar Ingimarsson and Ibrahima Sonko look set to revive their central defensive partnership from their days at Reading when the Blues take on Leicester at the King Power Stadium on Boxing Day (KO 3pm). Town boss Paul Jewell is forced into the change with Danny Collins having returned to Stoke at the end of his loan.
The Blues manager says he has three options, Ingimarsson, Damien Delaney and Tommy Smith, none of whom have played much first team football in recent weeks.
In addition to his experience of playing alongside Sonko, the Icelander has been involved more often than the other two alternatives of late with his last game the 4-0 defeat at Burnley at the end of November and it seems likely that he’ll get the nod.
