Ferguson is almost certain to return to the Blues starting XI for the match at St Andrews on Saturday afternoon having missed the last league match against Liverpool through suspension whilst Fahey is available for selection again having now overcome the ankle injury he sustained against Manchester City at the beginning of the month.
Manager Alex McLeish will still, however, be without Teemu Tanio, David Murphy, Garry O'Connor, Stuart Parnaby and Damien Johnson, who have still not recovered from their respective injuries.
