Bristol City vs Fleetwood Town - Hegeler and Djuric could be cleared to fly with Robins
Posted Friday, January 06, 2017 by PA
Bristol City are waiting on international clearance to hand debuts to Jens Hegeler and Milan Djuric against Fleetwood in the FA Cup.
German midfielder Hegeler and Bosnian striker Djuric signed two-and-a-half-year deals on Wednesday and could see immediate action at Ashton Gate.
City are seeking a lift after losing eight of their last nine games, and Robins boss Lee Johnson will consider changes against their in-form Sky Bet League One opponents.
Central defender Hordur Magnusson (hamstring) will be assessed, but midfielder Gary O'Neil (calf) is definitely out.
Fleetwood manager Uwe Rosler could name an unchanged side following Monday's 1-0 win at Shrewsbury.
The German has no new injury concerns but he will have to make do without striker Alex Jakubiak, who has returned to parent club Watford.
Alex Reid, signed from Rushall Olympic for an undisclosed fee on Wednesday, will be ushered into the development squad with Chris Long and Devante Cole set to start up front against the Robins.
Rosler remains without Jimmy Ryan (foot), Martyn Woolford (knee), Ashley Eastham (jaw) and Michael Duckworth (groin).
