Sno's absence to drift on
Bristol City, 16:10, March 4, 2010 ,
Bristol City have been hit by the news midfielder Evander Sno faces another two weeks out with an ongoing back problem.
The 22-year-old, who is on loan from Ajax, suffered the back injury during the warm-up ahead of the clash at Watford on February 9. And, while the medical staff at Ashton Gate diagnosed a back spasm, Sno will need a longer recovery period and will miss the Doncaster game on Saturday.
"We know what the problem is and we know how to treat it," manager Gary Johnson told the Bristol Evening Post. "But we are not sure how hard we can push Evander and how soon.
"It's a difficult one. We need to work him hard in training to get him properly fit for the Championship but if we give him too much too soon we run the risk of him breaking down and returning to square one.
"He has seen a couple of specialists over the course of the last few weeks but there has been little change in his condition and it's becoming a concern."
