Nigel Pearson has delivered fresh doubt on the fitness of Andi Weimann for the visit of Stoke by declaring they will make a final assessment of his ankle injury on Friday.
In a club interview on Wednesday, the City manager was hopeful that the Austrian was going to return to training today (Thursday) and therefore be in contention to start at the weekend. Weimann twisted his ankle in the victory over Rotherham which forced him off at the beginning of the second half.
As of Thursday afternoon, frost at the High Performance Centre meant City hadn't trained outside and therefore they haven't had the opportunity to take a proper look at his recovery. Weimann had endured swelling around the ankle and they have remained cautious in getting him back into training.
