Nigel Pearson has confirmed Alex Scott broke his nose following a collision in the first half of Bristol City's win over Derby.
The 18-year-old attempted to win a header in a duel with Louie Watson at the back post inside Derby's penalty area before hitting the turf holding his face.
Scott was in obvious discomfort in front of the increasingly irate Derby supporters before City's medics ran onto the field to give him treatment.
