Bristol City to wait on Riis injury
Struber: 'We still have to improve... to control the game better'

Bristol City manager Gerhard Struber will make a late decision on the fitness of striker Emil Riis for the visit of Birmingham City.
The Dane went off early in the second half during Tuesday's 3-1 win over Southampton and walked straight down the tunnel with the undisclosed injury.
Struber said he was due to have a meeting with Riis and the club doctor on Friday afternoon but would not play him if there was any "risk".
"It is 100 per cent not a bad injury - we have to look if he is ready tomorrow or if the risk could be too high," Struber told BBC Radio Bristol.
Sinclair Armstrong came on for Riis against Saints and made an impact but his goalless streak now stands at 33 matches.
Struber said he has seen improvements from the 22-year-old in his creative play.
"We saw that he make one or another jumps in his personal style and he helps the group," Struber added.
"This is what we want and we will see how everything is working tomorrow [with Riis] but we need consistency in the performance.
"I like it when players are consistent on a really high level and this is something we can see the last two weeks, we have a group of players on a high level and very reliable in the games."
