McCombe verdict for Robins

Bristol City, 14:15, November 17, 2008

Bristol City boss Gary Johnson has expressed his relief after defender Jamie McCombe escaped another serious facial injury.

The Robins star suffered the problem against Nottingham Forest at Ashton Gate but an X-ray has confirmed the 25-year-old is not set for another lengthy lay-off.

Johnson told the club's website: "The good news is there's no fracture.

"We were certainly worried at the time given what happened to Jamie earlier in the season."

McCombe only recently returned to action after fracturing a cheekbone against Derby in the middle of August.
