No new injury concerns for Bristol City ahead of home clash with Reading

Posted Thursday, October 03, 2019 by PA

Bristol City have no new injury or suspension concerns for the home clash with Reading.

Boss Lee Johnson named an unchanged 18-man squad for the midweek draw at Brentford, with Adam Nagy still not fit to return.

The Hungarian will be assessed as he continues to struggle with an ankle injury, while Tomas Kalas is not expected to return until later this month.

Forwards Famara Diedhiou and Niclas Eliasson came on for the start of the second half at Griffin Park and will be pushing to feature more prominently.

John Swift will sit out for Reading through suspension.

The midfielder was sent off for two bookable offences in the Royals’ 4-1 defeat at home to Fulham in midweek and must now serve a one-match ban.

Omar Richards, Yakou Meite and Josh Barrett all came into Jose Gomes’ starting line-up against the Cottagers, with the latter making his first start of the season.

Lucas Boye was brought on for the start of the second half as Reading looked to combat the loss of Swift and he could start at Ashton Gate, while defender Matt Miazga was an unused substitute on Tuesday night and will come into consideration to start.
