Bristol City facing goalkeeper selection headache
- Published
Bristol City's Austrian boss Gerhard Struber may be humming the tune of the nuns of Nonnberg Abbey in the next few weeks as he faces a selection dilemma.
For instead of singing 'How do you solve a problem like Maria?' like his compatriots, it would be 'How do you solve a problem like a keeper?'
The man with the number one shirt, Max O'Leary, looks ready to return after three months out with an ankle injury.
He was imperious in their run to the play-offs last season and played in an under-21s game before the international break as part of his rehab.
However, stand-in Radek Vitek has impressed both manager and fans alike, and it is hard to see how he could be replaced.
The Manchester United loanee earned his corn again at Carrow Road on Saturday, with two sharp reaction saves, leading boss Struber to say how he is very impressed with how good Vitek is.
The irony that the Red Devils - with all their recent goalkeeper woes - have loaned out a seemingly strong stopper is not lost on some Bristol City fans, who are already worrying about his parent club calling him back.
