Bristol City v Norwich City injury news - as two doubts and seven ruled out

Bristol City and Norwich City are both fretting over injuries that Andi Weimann and Josh Sargent picked in their matches on Friday and Saturday.

Both sides were in action over the weekend with the Robins drawing 1-1 with Hull City on Friday night, before the Canaries thrashed Huddersfield Town a day later.

Ayman Benarous is recovering from an undisclosed minor injury having battled back from two consecutive ACL injuries, but Rob Atkinson is still recovering from his, having been stretchered off against Sunderland back in February.

Bristol City’s under-21’s featured several fringe players such as Jamie Knight-Lebel, Raphael Araoye, Callum Wood, Omar Taylor Clarke, and Marlee Francois.
