Jamie McCombe will miss Bristol City's home game against Blackpool due to suspension.

The central defender was sent off in the defeat at Derby at the weekend for two bookable offences and will serve a one-match ban.

Lewin Nyatanga and Louis Carey are in contention to replace McCombe, with the former back to full fitness following a virus and the latter having recovered from a knee injury.

Cole Skuse could feature after being laid low by a heavy cold but goalkeeper Dean Gerken will not be considered despite returning to training following a virus.

David Clarkson and Danny Haynes are pushing for starting berths as the Robins go in search of a first win in five games while Ivan Sproule is also in the reckoning.
