Birmingham team news
Rooney faces a conundrum at right-back as Ethan Laird and Cody Drameh are expected to be sidelined with a hip and ankle issue, respectively, so Juninho Bacuna would be required to continue at right-back.
With Dion Sanderson unlikely to feature on account of a foot injury, youngster Romelle Donovan may be handed his full debut.
Another likely change can be in the form of Ivan Sunjic starting over Krystian Bielik in the middle.
