Joe Low could be set to be part of the Bristol City matchday 18 once again after the centre-back was left out of the Under-21 side that faced Charlton Athletic at the Robins High Performance Centre, while Andi Weimann also appears primed for a return to the squad.
Low made his first ever appearance in a City squad against Swansea City on Saturday having originally only travelled with the rest of the senior group, but Rob Atkinson’s late withdrawal due to illness meant the 20-year-old was promoted to the substitutes bench.
The same scenario looks to be likely against Sheffield United at Ashton Gate with both Atkinson and defender Timm Klose battling a flu bug and after being a regular for the U21s all season, Low’s omission from Ali Hines’ side indicates he’s needed in some capacity by Nigel Pearson.
