Injuries mount for Robins

Lewin Nyatanga headed the list of injury concerns collected by Bristol City boss Steve Coppell during his side`s 2-0 friendly win over Blackpool. The defender came on as a half-time substitute at Ashton Gate on Saturday but was stretchered off with a knee injury just 17 minutes later. "We`re hoping that it looked more dramatic than it actually was," Coppell told Bristol City Player. "I`ve spoken to Nick (Dawes) the physio and he reckons he strained the medial part of his knee. "We have to see how it settles down over the weekend and the same applies to the others." Nicky Hunt and Jamal Campbell-Ryce were substituted with respective ankle and shin problems, but Coppell insists the moves were precautionary. However, Kalifa Cisse could be out for up to a fortnight with a thigh strain and joins Louis Carey, Christian Ribeiro, James Wilson and Danny Haynes on the treatment table.
