Ashley Williams could have played his last game for Bristol

Ashley Williams could have played his last game for Bristol City after a mindless sending off in the Robins 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest which will earn him a four-match ban for violent conduct.

That will deny the veteran centre-back a chance to take on old foes Cardiff City at Ashton Gate on Saturday and by the time he will be available for selection again - with just two games of the season remaining - may find it hard to unseat Tomas Kalas or Filip Benkovic alongside Nathan Baker.

After a tussle on the ground over a 50/50 challenge, in his haste to get the ball back to take a free-kick, Williams launched his forearm at Yuri Ribeiro right in front of referee Darren Bond, earning a straight red.
