McAllister out of Hornets trip

Bristol City will be without Jamie McAllister when they travel to Watford. Scans have revealed the left-back suffered a fractured rib during the defeat to Leicester. McAllister was forced off after 64 minutes at the Walkers Stadium on Friday night following a heavy challenge that also left him with a calf injury. The Scot`s absence aside, boss Keith Millen will pick from an otherwise unchanged squad. Lewin Nyatanga and Damion Stewart will compete to replace McAllister, while midfielder Lee Johnson and striker Brett Pitman will also hope for recalls. Jamal Campbell-Ryce made his return from a hamstring injury as a second-half substitute against the Foxes and could be pushing for a start after suffering no ill effects. Last season`s leading scorer Nicky Maynard will continue to be eased back into competitive action as a substitute.
