Williams and Dickie unavailable for play-off second leg

Joe Williams went off before half-time of the first leg play-off defeat by Sheffield United

Bristol City will be without midfielder Joe Williams and suspended centre-back Rob Dickie for Monday's play-off semi-final second leg against Sheffield United.

Williams hobbled off after 40 minutes of Thursday's 3-0 defeat at Ashton Gate in the first leg.

"Joe [is a] bad one, snapped a couple of ankle ligaments. It's incredible the fact that he tried to play on for a few more minutes and did a 40-yard sprint before coming off," boss Liam Manning told BBC Radio Bristol.

Dickie was shown a straight red card in added time at the end of the first half for a challenge on Blades forward Kieffer Moore and the Robins' appeal against his sending off has been unsuccessful meaning he is unavailable.

Manning said there was a possibility Cameron Pring and Harry Cornick "could get minutes" after being unused substitutes on Thursday night.

Cornick has appeared in only three games this season due to injury, while Pring has been out with a hamstring injury.

"Pringy and Corns had an extra few days and are in a better spot than what they were for the home game," Manning said.
