Bristol City vs Blackburn Rovers - Nathan Baker fit for Bristol City's clash with Blackburn



Posted Friday, December 04, 2015 by PA

Loan signing Nathan Baker has been declared fit for Bristol City's Sky Bet Championship home game with Blackburn.

The central defender, on a season-long loan from Aston Villa, had to be substituted at half-time of last weekend's 3-0 defeat at Rotherham with breathing problems.

Marlon Pack is suspended after picking up a fifth booking of the season at Rotherham and Joe Bryan or Bobby Reid could fill the midfield void, but eight-goal top scorer Jonathan Kodjia is available after being troubled by a swollen knee.

Scott Wagstaff, who has been restricted to a solitary appearance this season because of injuries, suffered more misery on Monday night when he picked up a thigh strain playing for the Robins' Under-21 side against QPR.

Blackburn captain Grant Hanley will be given until the last possible moment to prove his fitness.

Hanley suffered nerve damage in his knee against Sheffield Wednesday and has not trained this week as a result, but boss Paul Lambert is keeping his fingers crossed.

Doneil Henry replaced Hanley in the latter stages of the fixture having returned to Ewood Park for a second loan spell and he would be an option if Hanley is ruled out.

Tom Lawrence, who missed the Wednesday clash with a knock, has trained all week, leaving Jason Lowe (foot) as the only definite absentee.
