Nigel Pearson reflects on Bristol City draw as he admits flu bug may continue to spread

Nigel Pearson warns that more players may come down with the flu after his makeshift Bristol City side battled to a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Swansea.

The City manager was forced to start with a back three of George Tanner, Zak Vyner and Cam Pring with Timm Klose absent and Rob Atkinson pulling out in the warm-up around an hour before kick-off.

Andi Weimann was also left out presumably with the bug but despite a depleted squad, Pearson felt his side could have grabbed all three points if they were more clinical in the first half. Antoine Semenyo missed a glorious chance in the opening few minutes from close range before Nahki Wells saw a strike saved by the keeper's legs.
