Brooker blow for Robins

Bristol City striker Stephen Brooker faces a few more weeks on the sidelines after scans revealed further complications to his knee injury.
The 25-year-old hitman has been sidelined since picking up the injury against his old club Port Vale on September 23.
"It looks as though Brooks will be out for a week or two longer. He is not able to do any training at the moment because he needs to rest," Robins boss Gary Johnson told the club's official website.
"The problem is bruising of a bone. The capsule which provides a cushion between the bones is split and when the fluid runs out there is nothing to stop the bones rubbing together.
"Rest is the only cure and we will just have to take it day by day."
However, positive news has come in the form of Enoch Showunmi who has started light training after treatment on a hamstring problem and could be in contention for the weekend visit to Nottingham Forest.
