Afobe’s return is Bristol City ‘biggest boost’ ahead of Championship restart – Carey

Bristol City legend Louis Carey said Benik Afobe’s return from injury will be the biggest boost for the Robins ahead of the resumption of the 2019-20 Championship season.

Afobe, who joined Lee Johnson's side on a season-long loan from Stoke City last June, suffered an ACL injury during a training session earlier this season with his last competitive match in August.

Before the setback, the 27-year-old scored three goals in his first five games for the Robins which include a brace against Hull City on August 24.

Bristol City are seventh on the league table just a point adrift of the promotion playoff zone, and Carey believes Afobe's presence in the team will be crucial in the final nine games of the season.
