Bristol City vs Queens Park Rangers - Lois Diony could make his Bristol City debut
Posted Friday, January 26, 2018 by PA
Striker Lois Diony could go straight into the Bristol City squad for Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship clash with QPR.
The 25-year-old, who has joined the club from St Etienne until the end of the season with an option to buy included in the loan deal, will be included provided he receives international clearance in time.
However, head coach Lee Johnson will be without keeper Frank Fielding once again as he faces up to three weeks on the sidelines with the groin injury he suffered at Derby last Friday evening, with Luke Steele set to deputise.
Nathan Baker has recovered from the ankle injury which meant he was used only as a substitute in the 3-2 Carabao Cup semi-final, second leg defeat by Manchester City in midweek, while Famara Diedhiou is pushing for a start after making two appearances from the bench following his return from a knee problem.
QPR will check on Jordan Cousins and Paul Smyth.
Midfielder Cousins (hamstring) and striker Smyth (thigh) both missed last weekend’s defeat by Middlesbrough.
Alex Baptiste is fit after a back problem and fellow defender James Perch should also be available following a knee injury.
Rangers this week released Ariel Borysiuk who has failed to make an impact at Loftus Road.
