Tomas Kalas' continued absence makes Bristol City's defensive picture increasingly clear

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.
