SOUTHEND United midfielder Sam Mantom is an injury doubt for tomorrow night's match with Walsall.
Mantom - who has skippered the Shrimpers in recent weeks - was clattered by a late Tom Davies challenge against Coventry City on Saturday.
And Blues boss Chris Powell is unsure whether or not Mantom will be fit to face his former wide.
"Sam’s a doubt," said Powell.
"We will have to see how he is but going back to the challenge on him it was nowhere near the ball.
"That tackle on Sam is a leg-breaker, it really is.
"They were saying he slipped but I’ve seen it again and there’s no slip."
Mantom made 153 appearances while with Walsall between 2012 and 2016.
