Bristol City's new loan signing Neil Danns looks likely to go straight into manager Derek McInnes' starting line-up for the visit of Blackpool to Ashton Gate.

The 29-year-old was borrowed from Leicester on Wednesday and after training without a problem on Thursday the former Crystal Palace midfielder looks set to start.

Danns may not be the only new addition this week with McInnes looking to strengthen his squad before the visit of Michael Appleton's side as six players remain on the sidelines.

Greg Cunningham, Cole Skuse, Stephen McManus, Jody Morris, Lewin Nyatanga and Louis Carey will all miss out for the visit of the Seasiders.

"We are looking for any sort of lift and a new signing (Danns) can do that," McInnes said. "There are a lot of injuries at the club at the moment so we are working hard to try and get at least one in for the weekend and hopefully another to join that before the loan window closes.

"The players who are available to us need to go out with the mindset that they are looking forward to the game and relishing the chance to take on Blackpool in front of our own fans."
