Nigel Pearson says the door is still open for Tomas Kalas to extend his stay at Bristol City but his situation could become clearer depending on whether he plays a part in the next two matches.
The City manager confirmed the centre-back will feature in the matchday squad this Saturday to take on Burnley after undergoing full training throughout the week. Kalas, 29, hasn't played since he injured his knee in the 2-0 defeat at Cardiff at the beginning of March.
It's been a long and difficult season for the Czech, whose string of injuries and set-backs have limited him to just two league starts and five substitute appearances. His inability to maintain his fitness has cast doubt on his future in BS3 as he approaches the expiration of his contract at the end of the season.
