Nigel Pearson has told the players approaching the end of their contracts that they have six matches to play for their Bristol City futures.
A total of four players find themselves out of contract this summer in Andy King, Callum O'Dowda, Robbie Cundy and Timm Klose. The Robins do have one-year options on both King and O'Dowda although whether the manager opts to keep them at the club or reduce the wage bill remains unclear.
In midfielder King, his season has been hampered by injuries having made just 12 Championship appearances while O'Dowda has struggled for consistency both in terms of performance and availability, due to a series of niggly injuries over the last two years.
