Left-back Scott Malone will be fit for Southend United's trip to Milton Keynes Dons on Saturday.

Blues will have the Wolverhampton Wanderers loanee available again following a toe injury.

That kept the 18-year-old out of last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Tranmere Rovers.

But the England under 19 is expected to return to the starting line-up against the Dons.

Meanwhile, winger Sanchez Watt is also fit again following a sprained ankle.

Watt, on loan from Arsenal, limped off early in the second half last weekend with the problem.

But having returned to training on Thursday the 18-year-old is also expected to start.

United's only injury problems are to midfielders Anthony Grant (ankle) and Stuart O'Keefe (hernia).
