Nigel Pearson's defensive options shrink as Bristol City face anxious wait over Tomas Kalas

As you may have gathered from the audio and written versions of Nigel Pearson's post-match dispatch at Nottingham Forest, the 2-0 defeat for Bristol City at the City Ground didn't provide much of an inspiration for too much detail.

Outside of the performance, of chief concern was Tomas Kalas' injury with the Czech Republic international leaving the field seven minutes from time – the first time he hasn't completed a match since 11 minutes as a substitute against Middlesbrough on August 14.

Pearson wasn't able to give a great deal over the status of the 28-year-old, declaring: "I don’t know how serious it is. He couldn’t carry on. It’s just a knock. He couldn’t carry on so it’s not just precautionary. He’s got something but I don’t know what." This is completely fair enough given how quickly he spoke after the game and the need for greater medical investigation.
