Robins recall midfielder amid crisis
- Published
Bristol City have recalled midfielder Jed Meerholz from his loan spell at Aldershot Town.
The 19-year-old made 14 appearances in all competitions, scoring once, and starting 11 National League games, utilised in the heart of the Shots defence.
Robins boss Gerhard Struber is dealing with a central midfield crisis ahead of Saturday's trip to Norwich with skipper Jason Knight, Max Bird and Joe Williams all unavailable.
Williams, 28, is set to be out until the New Year with an ankle injury sustained in the Championship play-off semi-final against Sheffield United in May, though Knight (groin) and Bird (calf) should be back sooner.
"With Knighty I would say the healing we saw on the scan is looking good but we must be patient with him and he will be out for six to eight weeks," Struber told BBC Radio Bristol.
"With Birdy it could be a quick comeback and we hope within the next few weeks he will be back but we have to be patient here as it's the second time he's had something in his calf."
