City defender out of Tigers trip

Bristol City boss Derek McInnes will be without Liam Fontaine for the televised trip to Hull after the defender picked up a calf tear.

The long-serving centre-back, who will miss City's next few games, was replaced by Louis Carey with 35 minutes to go of the thrilling encounter at Ashton Gate. Stephen Pearson was a last-minute withdrawal from the squad on Tuesday and McInnes is hopeful he will return to training before the squad travel to Humberside. Neil Kilkenny and Marvin Elliott remain on the sidelines although defender Greg Cunningham could be available for selection in late November after making a quicker recovery than expected from his ankle ligament injury.
