Nigel Pearson will make another late call on Matty James' involvement for Bristol City's trip to Luton Town but concedes he won't risk the midfielder if there's any chance he could aggravate his ankle injury.
The 31-year-old picked up the problem in the 0-0 draw against Huddersfield Town last week following a robust challenge from Matty Pearson. James played the full 90 minutes but was forced to miss the 2-0 victory over Blackpool at the weekend as Andy King earned a consecutive start in midfield.
Wednesday's visit to Luton, who occupy fourth spot, will prove a tougher test than the one posed by relegation strugglers Blackpool, and given City's lengthy injury list, Pearson remains hopeful he'll have his stalwart back in the starting XI at Kenilworth Road.
