The French striker has been undergoing a series of injections over the past four weeks on his troublesome knee injury and Blues boss Steve Bruce has said that Dugarry could return to first team action by the end of January.
Dugarry has not featured in the Blues side since the 4-0 home defeat against Blackburn on December 6th. He was sent off in that game after an altercation with Rovers defender Craig Short which resulted in a one game ban which he has now served.
