McCombe out for six weeks
Jamie McCombe booked into hospital on Thursday for surgery on the fractured cheekbone he suffered during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Derby.
The defender has had to wait for the swelling to subside before he can have the operation and is expected to have to wait until October for a return.
Physio Nick Daves told City's website: "The scans show a fracture in three places. He will be out for six weeks."
