Bristol City boss Liam Manning says there is a "slight possibility" wing-back Cameron Pring could be fit to face Sheffield United in the Championship play-off semi-final first leg.

Pring missed the last two games of the regular season with a hamstring injury having started eight of the previous 10 league matches.

The Robins welcome the Blades to Ashton Gate on Thursday and have no fresh injury concerns, according to Manning.

"Everyone came through Saturday OK," he told BBC Radio Bristol.

"Cameron Pring, there is a slight possibility of him playing, we have to weigh up the risk of all of it. We will see how he responds.

"Most of our lads can play two positions which is important when you run a small squad."

Ross McCrorie started at left wing-back in Pring's absence and scored both goals in City's 2-2 draw with Preston on Saturday.

But McCrorie is naturally a right-sided player, while Yu Hirakawa also impressed filling in at right wing-back.

"I will be awake for the next few nights trying to pick a team," Manning added.
