Bristol City handed boost following Andi Weimann's injury scare on international duty

Bristol City have been handed a fitness boost following Andi Weimann's leg injury sustained against France last week with the Austrian international expected to return to the Robins High Performance this week and train as normal.

The forward, who limped out of the 2-0 Nations League loss on Thursday in the 50th minute, was named as an unused substitute in Austria's game against Croatia on Sunday after manager Ralf Rangnick initially confirmed he was a doubt.

The fact that Weimann, 31, featured in the squad represents reassuring news that his injury is not too serious. He was further pictured warming up before the contest with strapping to his left knee. Bristol Live understands that although it's unclear what the exact issue is, Weimann suffered some swelling to his leg and was left out of the Croatia defeat as a precaution.
