The Story in 60 Seconds

Bristol City manager Michael Skubala expects striker Tolaj to return from injury for next week's clash against Stoke City. The forward has been sidelined with a niggle sustained over the international break but has returned to training on the grass with the squad. Skubala opted against risking him in recent fixtures to ensure he reaches full fitness.

The 24-year-old former Port Vale attacker joined Bristol City from Plymouth Argyle for £4 million in July and has scored twice in 10 matches. Without him, the Robins rotated options up front during a run that included a 1-1 draw with Charlton and consecutive 1-0 defeats against Blackburn and Sheffield United.
