Bristol City boss Dean Holden has provided an injury update ahead of the Robins ’ clash with Nottingham Forest this weekend.
City currently sit second in the Championship table after the perfect start to their first full season under Holden, winning all three of their league games under Holden so far.
Next up is a clash against Forest at the City Ground, with Sabri Lamouchi’s side currently sat 21st in the table after three straight league defeats.
Speaking ahead of the game, Holden confirmed that defender Nathan Baker and midfielder Liam Walsh will miss this weekend’s trip to the Midlands, but the rest of his squad are in shape.
However, he confirmed that Walsh is closing in on a return to action, having not featured for the Robins yet this season after impressing during a loan spell at Coventry City last season.
“Yes, there’s probably only Nathan Baker who’s long-term really,” said Holden ahead of this weekend’s clash.
“Maybe Liam Walsh is a couple of weeks away from being back outside but the rest of the boys, although they’re not quite with the group just yet, are certainly progressing in the right way.
“We might see one more hopefully for this weekend for the trip to Forest and then we’ll see after the international break.
“We’ll use that two week period that we’ve got to maximum effect and hopefully going up to Barnsley after the break, we might have one or two more back as well.”
