Birmingham City manager Lee Clark has insisted that new signing Dariusz Dudka will require a "mini pre-season" before he plays for the club.
Dudka has signed a two-month contract at St Andrew's after training with the Championship outfit for two weeks, but Clark has revealed that supporters shouldn't expect an immediate debut.
The 41-year-old told the club's website: "Dariusz has not played competitively in a long time and he won't be involved before the international break. He will need a mini pre-season."
The 29-year-old was released by Levante during the summer, while he has also won 65 caps for Poland.
