Republic of Ireland striker Clinton Morrison has recovered from injury and will make his Premiership debut for Birmingham City against Everton tomorrow night.

The £4.5 million signing from Crystal Palace missed the club’s opening league games against Arsenal and Blackburn with a groin injury.

He played 65 minutes of a behind-doors practice game yesterday.

"This has been a frustrating period for me having to sit out the first couple of games," said Morrison. "But these things happen in football and I am determined to make an impact in the Premiership."
