Nigel Pearson gives Bristol City injury update including Andi Weimann latest ahead of Stoke City

Bristol City have been handed an injury boost ahead of Saturday's game after confirming Andi Weimann is likely to return to training on Thursday and should be in contention to take on Stoke City.

The Austrian twisted his ankle in the 3-1 victory over Rotherham at the weekend and was forced off in the 52nd minute, replaced by Mark Sykes at right wing-back.

Nigel Pearson confirmed the 31-year-old has had "quite a bit of swelling" around the ankle during the week and while remaining cautious in his recovery, he is optimistic Weimann will recover in time to take on the Potters as City go in search of back-to-back victories.
