Curtis Fleming admits Bristol City are still managing Tomas Kalas’ comeback from groin surgery as the Czech Republic international missed another pre-season game for the Robins.
As was the case against Cheltenham Town last week, centre-back Kalas didn’t take any part in the 120 minutes of Tuesday’s 0-0 draw with Portsmouth having been out of action since March 5 which caused him to miss the final 10 games of last season.
The 29-year-old was at the High Performance Centre, watching on from the players seating area in vest, shorts and flip-flops and with just over two-and-a-half weeks before the 2022/23 campaign kicks off, it seems increasingly unlikely that he’ll be 100 per cent ready for the July 30 season opener against Hull City.
