Bristol City will be without Matty James and Timm Klose for the visit of Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, Bristol Live understands.
James, 31, will sit out with a groin issue although it's not thought to be serious. It's the second injury he has picked up this season after pulling out of the warm-up with a calf issue before the defeat against Sunderland at the beginning of the campaign.
It saw him miss four matches before returning to action in the 3-1 victory over Wycombe in the EFL Cup three weeks after. His absence will prove a blow to Nigel Pearson with James proving integral to City's impressive form this season.
