Nigel Pearson admits Stefan Bajic may have fast-tracked himself into the Bristol City squad for the visit of Preston North End on Wednesday after impressing with the Under-21s.
The 20-year-old summer signing was forced to bide his time and wait for his opportunity having arrived in England with a wrist injury. However, he made his first appearance in a City shirt in the U21's 5-0 victory over Cardiff last month.
He retained his place between the sticks for four consecutive matches and impressed as the young Robins maintain their undefeated start to the season at the summit of the table. He was then left out of the squad for Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Colchester United indicating that Pearson is considering bringing him into the senior squad following Saturday's defeat at Birmingham.
