Bristol City forward Benik Afobe is ineligible for Saturday's Championship outing when his team travel to his parent club, Stoke City.
Afobe joined the Robins on a season-long loan deal from Stoke on the English transfer deadline day.
According to Bristol Live, the temporary switch makes him unavailable for Lee Johnson's side when they battle at the bet365 Stadium, hoping to stretch their five-game unbeaten run in the Championship.
Afobe has had an impressive start to life at Ashton Gate, scoring three goals in his five league appearances.
