Bristol City handed significant boost ahead of key period
Bristol City have been boosted by the return for Korey Smith, with the midfielder returning for the club’s under-23 side against Colchester United this afternoon.
Lee Johnson has been unable to call on Smith since August 18, when the 28-year-old picked up a knee injury in a 2-0 defeat to Middlesbrough.
However, after seven months of recovery, Smith now sees light at the end of the tunnel, with the midfielder named in Bristol City’s starting XI for their under-23 fixture against Colchester this afternoon.

Last season Smith was a regular for Johnson, featuring on 52 occasions across all competitions and returning three goals.
Amongst those goals was a strike against Manchester United in the quarter-final of the League Cup, with Smith helping the Robins reach the last four of that competition.
He returns to a squad fighting on one front this season, with Johnson hoping to guide his side into the play-offs.
Between December 29 and February 12 City were on an eight-match winning streak, with six of those triumphs coming in the Championship.
That had put them in serious top-six contention, but Johnson’s side are now without a win in five, with Sheffield United and Middlesbrough awaiting following the international break.
