Bristol City defender declared fit as Nigel Pearson claims he's an example for others to follow

Nigel Pearson has confirmed Jay Dasilva will be fit to take on Hull City in Bristol City’s final home game of the season with the Robins manager praising the former Chelsea defender’s attitude and commitment to winning back his affections in a challenging season.

Pearson admits that after a meeting in November, which coincided with a number of alarming individual displays, Dasilva’s future at the club appeared “not particularly secure” with the January transfer window approaching.

Bristol Live understands a number of loan offers were made for the 24-year-old but City were only willing to let Dasilva leave on a permanent deal and instead he remained at Ashton Gate before fighting his way back into the team.
