Bristol City have been dealt a potential injury blow for the Championship run-in - courtesy of an ex-Robin.
Last weekend's hat-trick hero Andreas Weimann is a doubt for the clash with Wigan at Ashton Gate on Saturday, thanks to a 'stamp' by former City defender Aden Flint.
Weimann was substituted early in the second period of the Robins' midweek 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.
Lee Johnson has revealed the 27-year-old sustained the knock to the top of his foot in an accidental coming-together with Flint.
He underwent an x-ray yesterday to gauge the severity of the injury, with the results expected later today (Thursday).
Speaking at a press conference ahead of the visit of the Latics, the City boss said: "It was the top of the foot. He was stamped on by our friend Flinty, not on purpose I must add - accidental.
"He received quite a nasty stamp as he tried to take Flinty on."
Signed from Derby in the summer, the experienced Austrian has contributed a useful nine goals - including Saturday's hat-trick against Sheffield United - and four assists in the league, despite featuring predominantly on the wing.
Should he be ruled out for an extended period it would come as an ill-timed blow to Lee Johnson's side, who harbour serious hopes of maintaining their position in the play-off places.
Meanwhile, Korey Smith is also a doubt having been taken off after feeling 'a twinge' at the Riverside. The 28-year-old has missed most of the season having spent seven months on the sidelines with a serious knee injury
"He felt a twinge to the injury he had before," Johnson said. "That's not unusual to feel a twinge like that for anyone whose had a medial ligament.
"It was just safer really to take him off. I wanted to put a big guy on anyway after the changes that they'd made and therefore it was safer to keep him out of it."
