Preston North End defender Sean St Ledger could give Alan Irvine a selection headache for the final game of the season on Sunday.
He is making a rapid recovery from the hamstring strain which forced him to miss the 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town.
St Ledger has been back in training at Springfields and looking a possibility for the trip to Ashton Gate.
And that could prove a teaser for Irvine after handing Neal Trotman his debut last Saturday.
He said: "Sean looks as if he is going to be available, which is great.
"I didn't think we'd see him again this season when he limped off at Plymouth.
"But he trained with the lads yesterday and he came through fine.
"Chris Brown also trained without a reaction to his return to the side. So fingers crossed they should both be fine."
If St Ledger comes through the rest of the week unscathed, then he is likely to be part of the 16 at Ashton Gate.
But Irvine insists he will not make any decisions on his starting line-up until later in the week then he has seen more of his squad.
With Billy Jones ruled out of the final game, Michael Hart will continue at right-back.
But Irvine must decide whether to keep Trotman in the centre of the back-four alongside Youl Mawene, or bring St Ledger back in place of a player who is inexperienced at Championship level.
