One minute applause to honour Christian Benitez
BIRMINGHAM will stage a minute-long applause during Saturday’s Championship curtain-raiser as a tribute to Christian Benitez, following their former striker’s death at the age of 27.
The tribute will be held in the 11th minute of the match against Watford at St Andrew’s, marking the fact the striker wore the No 11 shirt for the Blues.
Meanwhile, Marlon King has been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run incident which left a man with a head injury.
The Birmingham striker was held on suspicion of failing to stop at the scene of a road traffic collision following the crash in central London in the early hours of Saturday morning.
