Johnson hopeful Bristol City’s injury problems ease before clash with Wednesday

Bristol City boss Lee Johnson hopes his injury problems are about to ease ahead of Sunday’s Championship clash with Sheffield Wednesday.

Johnson reported “one or two niggles” following his side’s frustrating midweek draw against Rotherham.

But defender Bailey Wright could come into contention after returning from injury while goalkeeper Frank Fielding is also back in the reckoning.

Jamie Paterson will be pushing for a place in the starting line-up as the Robins look to end a run of four games without a win.

Wednesday are still without in-form Marco Matias, who missed the midweek draw with West Brom due to a hamstring problem.

But midfielder Barry Bannan is back after sitting out the game on Wednesday due to suspension.

And boss Jos Luhukay could have his options further increased by the respective returns of Daniel Pudil (nose) and Ash Baker (leg).

Gary Hooper, Sam Winnall, Kieran Lee and Joost van Aken are all still on the Owls’ long-term injury list.
