Bristol City set to be without Luke Freeman for Hull visit

Luke Freeman looks set to miss Bristol City's EFL Cup fourth-round tie against Hull at Ashton Gate on Tuesday.

The midfielder suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's 1-0 Championship victory over Blackburn, and he is thought unlikely to recover in time to face the Premier League side.

City boss Lee Johnson looks set to keep changes at a minimum, though, with the manager hoping that Bobby Reid will be available following a fitness test.

The Hull game is City's first at home in the EFL Cup this season, having defeated Wycombe, Scunthorpe and Fulham on their travels to reach round four.

Hull winger Robert Snodgrass is a major doubt after sustaining an ankle injury in Saturday's home defeat to Stoke.

Snodgrass left the KCOM Stadium in a protective boot and on crutches and boss Mike Phelan is waiting for scan results to determine the full extent of the injury.

Left-back Andrew Robertson (calf) has been ruled out for eight weeks, fellow defender Moses Odubajo (fractured patella) faces an extended period on the sidelines and forward Dieumerci Mbokani has a hamstring injury.

Striker Abel Hernandez could return to the starting line-up and teenage defender Josh Tymon is hoping to make his fourth senior appearance for the club.
