Gerhard Struber has been operating with a severely reduced first-team squad in recent weeks due to several injury issues in the camp. The absentee list was stretched to 10 senior players for the clash with Watford at Vicarage Road last Friday, where City came from behind to draw 1-1 with the Hornets.

With no fixture to be played this weekend, as a result of the international break, the Robins are not in Championship action until Saturday, November 22, when they will welcome Swansea City to Ashton Gate. Defender Ross McCrorie is expected to be ready and available to feature against the Swans, despite withdrawing from international duty with Scotland this month.
