Yahoo News Romelle Donovan and George Hall given Birmingham City assignment after snubs
Romelle Donovan and George Hall were given some minutes in another heavy defeat for Birmingham City’s under-21 side on Monday afternoon.
Blues were put to the sword by Colchester United’s under-21 side, losing 3-0 at St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park, to cap a miserable start to the season. Blues opened their Professional Development League campaign with a 6-1 defeat to Ipswich last week.
Donovan and Hall both started for Steve Spooner’s side to build up their minutes after their recent omissions from the first team. Donovan travelled to Charlton Athletic for the Carabao Cup tie last week but missed out on Chris Davies’ final squad.
Donovan impressed in pre-season and was expected to add to his 10 first team appearances under Davies. BirminghamLive understands there is Premier League interest in the 17-year-old forward.

Hall has been made available for transfer by Blues after a pre-season in which he barely featured under Davies. The 20-year-old hasn’t been selected by Davies for a game yet and Blues want him to play regular football elsewhere.
Davies said of Hall: "For him, the future is probably going to be a case of getting the right exposure to game minutes that he might not be able to get here."
