Tristan Nydam, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Luke Hyam, Callum Connolly and Freddie Sears all return to the Town line-up for this afternoon’s game at Brentford.
The Blues are set to start with the three-man backline of Carter-Vickers, skipper Luke Chambers and Adam Webster with Jonas Knudsen at left wing-back and Jordan Spence on the right.
With Cole Skuse missing out with a head injury - the Bristolian was helping out with the U18s’ warm-up ahead of their 1-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday at Playford Road this morning - Hyam, Nydam and Callum Connolly will be in midfield with Sears joining Martyn Waghorn up front.
Young Australian striker Ben Folami is on the bench, having made his Championship debut as a sub against Millwall on Monday, alongside Stephen Gleeson, Mustapha Carayol, Myles Kenlock and Bersant Celina who all started against the Lions.
For Brentford, Neil Maupay replacing the injured Florian Jozefzoon is the only change, while Alan Judge makes his first home start since suffering a broken leg at Portman Road in April 2016.
