Fulham defender Dan Burn is poised to return to Birmingham City on loan next week.

The towering centre-back made 28 appearances for the Championship club earlier this season but had his loan spell at St Andrews cut short after being recalled by the Cottagers.

Burn played 90 minutes in last weekend’s FA Cup draw with Norwich and will feature in Tuesday's replay before returning to Birmingham.

Fulham boss Rene Meulensteen said: "We were delighted with his performance against Norwich, which showed that his loan deal was working.

"There's some good guys there in Lee Clark and Steve Watson who I know really well.

"It's important at this stage of his career that he plays a lot of competitive games. We brought him back so we can have a look at him.

"We want to keep him here for the next cup game, then after that we'll most likely loan him back to Birmingham."
