Nigel Pearson has provided further insight into the severity of Tommy Conway's injury by declaring he could be out of action anytime between six and 10 weeks.
The striker limped off during the first half of the FA Cup game with Swansea at Ashton Gate just over three weeks ago with Andi Weimann also leaving the field in the final few minutes with a hamstring problem. Pearson ruled the Austrian out for "two to three weeks" but initially couldn't provide a timeline on Conway's recovery only suggesting he would be sidelined for "a bit longer."
Pearson eased concerns that the 20-year-old would avoid surgery but suggested the injuries to the duo would change his short-term focus in the transfer market. Conway is the club's joint top-scorer this season alongside Nahki Wells with nine goals in all competitions.
