Bristol City boss Michael Skubala has revealed Elijah Adebayo is still working his way back to full fitness.

Adebayo has featured during Bristol City’s pre-season campaign, but Skubala admitted the lower intensity of those matches meant the forward still has work to do before he is fully integrated back into first-team training.

“With Elijah, he’s been out for quite some time with his injury,” Skubala told Bristol Live.

“He’s been back rehabbing and, obviously, you’ve seen him in pre-season, which is a lot lower-intensity games.

“We need to help him still with his rehab so he can be in and around things in training, but he’s not fully into training.

“We need to hybrid his training to get his strength back to where we want him to be and where he wants to be.”
