Obafemi Martins has been given the green light to make his Birmingham debut and is set to be in Saturday's squad to face Stoke.
Martins was a transfer-window capture by Blues boss Alex McLeish but his debut has been delayed as he was awaiting visa clearance.
However, the Nigeria international has now been given the go-ahead to play and is expected to be involved when Birmingham look for another vital win against the Potters this weekend.
McLeish has high hopes that the former Newcastle striker can help score the goals that will keep his side in the top flight in what's left of the season as he adds to his options up front.
"We're looking for Oba to come in and make an impact right away," said McLeish.
