Nigel Pearson doesn’t expect Nathan Baker to be available for Bristol City next season following the defender's two separate concussions sustained last year, which leaves his future at the Robins, and beyond, in doubt.
Baker hasn’t played or trained for City since being stretchered off against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on November 28 after landing awkwardly following a challenge with Chris Basham, having sustained a head injury against West Brom just five weeks earlier.
Those injuries ruled the 31-year-old out for the remainder of the 2021/22 Championship season, with the former Aston Villa defender then undergoing tests and recovering at home, with sporadic appearances at the High Performance Centre to see his teammates and keep him involved as part of the squad.
