Curtis Fleming is optimistic Han-Noah Massengo will be fit to take on Swansea City this weekend with the Bristol City midfielder sustaining a hip injury against Reading.
Massengo twice received treatment on the field after injuring himself in attempting to press a Reading player. The Frenchman repeatedly tried to run the injury off but with his movement restricted, and visibly in pain, he signalled to the bench to be substituted.
Joe Williams replaced him in the 17th minute and put in a fine display at the heart of the midfield alongside Alex Scott but Fleming and Nigel Pearson, who's set to return to Bristol today following his medical treatment in London, will want Massengo available to take on the Swansea as his energy and tenacity in the middle of the park will be vital in disrupting Swansea's passing game.
