Bristol City's Joe Williams will be out for a further "eight weeks" after suffering ankle injury in May.
Bristol City midfielder Joe Williams will be out for longer than expected following the ankle injury he suffered in the first leg of the play-off semi-final against Sheffield United last season.
Williams made 26 appearances for the Robins last season before his ankle ligament issue saw him be replaced in the 40th minute at Ashton Gate in May.
The Robins have released a statement updating supporters on the extent of the 28-year-old's injury.
"Bristol City can confirm Joe Williams has had a setback during his rehabilitation from his ankle injury.
"The club have investigated and it has been concluded that the midfielder does not need further surgery.
"However, Williams is likely to be out of action for around eight weeks."
