Birmingham City fans were rejoiced to see Maikel Kieftenbeld back on the training pitch for the Blues. The 29-year-old defensive midfielder has been out injured with a cruciate ligament rupture, which is expected to keep him out of matches until the end of the month (transfermarkt.co.uk).
The fans are excited to see him back on the training field. They think it could bring a huge boost to the squad to see the player back in a Birmingham City outfit. They are eager to have him back in the lineup too.
I think it's going to give everyone a lift, players and fans, to see him back out on the pitch. Helps drive the team forward. Good to see you back MK! ??? #KeepRightOn

Are you excited by a Kieftenbeld and Sunjic partnership
Yes
No
Others are more excited to see him play alongside Ivan Sunjic. They have faith that their partnership could bring lots of rewards to Pep Clotet’s system.
When fully fit and next to sunjic that be an amazing partnership

What do we think?
The sooner Kieftenbeld is fit the better, however, fans should be cautious that the club doesn’t rush him back. If he does come back too soon, the player could re-injure himself and prolong his leave from first-team football for even longer.
