Midfielder Grant Leadbitter is out of hospital and on his way back to Suffolk having suffered a concussion during the second half of the Blues’ 1-0 win at Bristol City. Leadbitter clashed heads with Robins defender Damion Stewart and after receiving treatment on the pitch was taken off on a spinal board.

Physio Matt Byard told the club site: "Grant sustained a head injury and received oxygen on the pitch. He was taken off the pitch on a spinal board as a precaution and taken to hospital for CT scans.

"The results of those scans are satisfactory and he has been discharged and allowed to travel back home. We will review his condition again on Sunday and take it from there."
