New signing sustains suspected ligament damage
Bristol City's new signing Andrius Velicka could be facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering suspected knee ligament damage.
The season-long loan arrival from Rangers was carried off in the 75th minute of the 1-0 win over QPR on Tuesday night just 11 minutes after being introduced from the bench.
Nicky Maynard grabbed a late winner for the Robins in their Championship clash, but boss Gary Johnson admitted he now fears he could be without Velicka for some time.
Pretty serious
He said: "While we are delighted with the win and Nicky's fantastic late strike, our thoughts are with Andrius.
"It's a bad break for us but even worse for the lad himself.
"There was no contact involved when he went down, which is always a worry, and it looks pretty serious.
"I thought our first-half display was outstanding and just lacked the finishing touches to some great moves.
"In the end Nicky has come up with a special winning goal and we held on as Rangers threw everything at us during seven minutes of injury time."
Fine line
Maynard's rocket shot from the edge of the box on 78 minutes followed his last-gasp winner against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
It left Rangers boss Jim Magilton disappointed, but far from down-hearted despite three Championship games without a win.
He said: "If we keep playing like that a victory will come and that's all we need to get us going.
"There is such a fine line between success and failure in this league and at the moment we aren't quite getting the breaks.
"The bad injury to their player actually came at a time when we were on top and the stoppage allowed them to draw breath and regroup.
"We had a great chance when we hit a post in the second half and that is the difference for us at the moment."
