Afobe injury blow for Bristol City
Posted Friday, September 20, 2019 by PA
Bristol City striker Benik Afobe is expected to miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury.
Afobe, on loan from Stoke, ruptured an anterior cruciate ligament in training and will be sidelined for up to nine months.
Famara Diedhiou is likely to continue in the absence of Afobe, who missed last week’s win at Stoke as he was ineligible to face his parent club.
Hungary midfielder Adam Nagy (ankle) remains doubtful, while Tomas Kalas (hamstring), Bailey Wright (thigh), Jay DaSilva (tibia) and Korey Smith (foot) are all long-term absentees.
Opponents Swansea will be without forward Aldo Kalulu again, but otherwise boss Steve Cooper has a clean bill of health.
Kalulu, on a season-long loan from Basle, has made only two appearances for the Swans due to an ankle injury sustained in August.
Central defender Joe Rodon recovered from a knock sustained on international duty with Wales in time to play the full 90 minutes in last week’s home defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Cooper’s side, second in the table, are bidding to bounce back from their first league defeat of the season.
