Avoiding injuries is going to be key for Bristol City and Nigel Pearson if they are to achieve success this season with the manager already dealing with a thin squad.
With little money on hand to reinvest in the side, it's highly unlikely City will see an influx of new players arrive before the transfer window closes at the beginning of September.
One or two new faces would be more than welcome, especially to address areas in the side that lack depth including in central midfield and defence, but Pearson will have to be cautious in his squad rotation to ensure his key players remain fit.
