Bristol City Expects Rob Dickie to Return from Injury Before Christmas

Bristol City is optimistic about having centre-back Rob Dickie back on the field before Christmas. Manager Michael Skubala indicated that Dickie's injury, which occurred during a match against Lincoln City last month, is not as severe as initially feared.

During the match, Dickie sustained a knee injury and was carried off on a stretcher. Skubala mentioned that Dickie is close to resuming training and that his condition is improving, suggesting he will not miss the entire season.

Additionally, defender Luke McNally is now available for selection after recovering from a serious knee injury sustained in February 2025. McNally recently played in a friendly match against Crystal Palace. Midfielder Brian De Keersmaecker, who has been sidelined since February due to a shoulder injury, is also fit and ready for selection.
