Nigel Pearson provides Matty James fitness update ahead of Bristol City's trip to Luton Town

Nigel Pearson will need to make another late call on Matty James' availability for the trip to Luton but hopes he'll at least make the matchday squad tomorrow.

The midfielder missed the win over Blackpool with an ankle injury sustained in the draw against Huddersfield last week. The 31-year-old returned to training on Tuesday but they now face a waiting game to see whether there has been any reaction before considering his selection.

Pearson will also hold discussions with James to determine his comfort levels before making his team selection but he'll be obviously hoping to have the stalwart available against the Hatters given the difficulty of opposition and the current injury crisis. City will head to the fourth-place play-off hopefuls without at least six senior players in Ayman Benarous, Rob Atkinson, Kal Naismith, Tomas Kalas, Joe Williams and Tommy Conway.
