'Stretched' Bristol City without injured Pring

Cameron Pring missed eight games in January and February with a hamstring injury

Bristol City left-back Cameron Pring is set to miss the final two games of the Championship season, against Leeds United and Preston North End, because of a hamstring injury.

Pring was substituted 20 minutes into the defeat by Luton Town on Easter Monday and had a scan on Thursday to assess the extent of the injury.

The 27-year-old, who has made 32 league appearances this season, also missed eight matches in January and February with a hamstring injury.

"It's not looking good. We don't know the seriousness. I can't see him being involved in the last two [games] to be honest," manager Liam Manning told BBC Radio Bristol.

Manning also said midfielder Joe Williams - an unused substitute against Luton - was a doubt for Monday's trip to Elland Road to face promoted Leeds because of a quad injury.

"It'll be tight again. His quad flared up a little bit in the Sunderland game. We did a half job before of settling it enough where he can play through the pain," Manning added.

"That's the stage we're at - we've got a few that are carrying knocks and bits that will need addressing in the summer, but with the position we're in everybody's pushing themselves through the pain, and we need that."

'We know we're light'

Bristol City need three points from their remaining two league games, at Leeds and at home to Preston, to secure a place in the play-offs for the first time since 2007-08.

The Robins, however, are already without winger Mark Sykes for the rest of the season because of a quad issue, while playmaker Scott Twine has played only 48 minutes over the past three matches as he is "managed" back from injury.

Teenager Elijah Morrison came on for the final 14 minutes against the Hatters in only his fourth Championship appearance.

Manning said the response of the players "speaks volumes" of how all-in they are for the club.

"We're stretched, we know we're light - our lads have given absolutely everything," Manning said.

"I think what the group have done a terrific job of is when we've lost somebody, be it through injury, suspension, or we've changed things - people coming into the team have stepped up and delivered.

"That doesn't change. It's the same message, same approach - we need everyone to be at their best."
