MONK CAN’T OFFER MOR

- BY JAMES NURSEY

Championsh­ip: 3pm BIRMINGHAM boss Garry Monk faces losing out of contract skipper Michael Morrison.

Monk is unable to offer Morrison a new deal after Brum were hit with a transfer embargo in the summer.

They are also under an

EFL imposed business plan.

Blues are in danger of a points deduction at a independen­t disciplina­ry commission in February for breaching Financial Fair Play rules.

Morrison (left) has helped Monk’s men to back-to-back wins with clean sheets.

But Monk admitted: “I’ve spoken to players like Michael, not being able to do those sorts of things is not ideal to secure those players’ futures.

“These are the difficulti­es for myself.

“We have no other choice, so we just continue.”
