Bristol City have begun their pre-season training camp in Austria with manager Nigel Pearson electing not to include full-back Kane Wilson and centre-back Joe Low among his travelling party. Bristol Live understands the duo have been left behind to train with the Under-21 squad at the High Performance Centre casting a degree of doubt over the futures at the club.
In Wilson’s case, it’s understandable given the 23-year-old was on the verge of being sold to League One Bolton Wanderers prior to the start of pre-season only for the deal to break down. By not being selected for Austria this week, Wilson’s departure appears a matter of when rather than if, providing a suitable destination and buyer can be found.
Pearson has George Tanner, Ross McCrorie and academy product Harry Leeson, who replaced Wilson in the matchday 18 towards the end of last season, as his right-back options for the camp.
