Full-back Luke McNally has also suffered a "minor setback" in his recovery from the anterior cruciate ligament injury that has kept him out since February, a club statement said.
Left-back Cam Pring also sustained an ankle injury during the pre-season training camp in Portugal, which concluded last week, and is due to be assessed on return to Bristol.
Midfielder Joe Williams - who went off during the play-off semi-final first leg defeat by Sheffield United in May with an ankle ligament injury - and Max Bird are both "hopeful" of being available for the start of the season.
City begin their Championship campaign away at the Blades on Saturday, 9 August at 17:30 BST.

England's captain Leah Williamson says Lionesses are 'connected to what it means for nation' ahead of Women's Euros final
Leah Williamson has said England are "aware" and "connected" to what it would mean for the nation if they were to beat Spain in Sunday's Women's Euro final. The Lionesses have led a charmed life in the knockout stages of the tournament they won at Wembley four years ago. England captain Williamson was asked by Sky News' what it would mean to have the chance to lift a trophy again and if she could grasp what it would mean for the nation. "I think we are connected to what it means to the nation, as connected as we can be being away from home," she said. "The opportunity of tomorrow and what's on offer is the best thing in football. "We came to the tournament and wanted to be in it until the end, and have a chance to fight for that trophy. "I think we don't necessarily carry the weight of it [the expectations] and how much it means to people, but we are aware of it because it means the same to us. "We recognise the opportunity and will do everything we can to take it." England needed two late goals to stay in the quarter-final against Sweden before winning in a penalty shootout. They looked to be out in the semi-final against Italy before Michelle Agyemang equalised deep in added time, and Chloe Kelly scored a 119th-minute winner with another shootout imminent. Sunday's task in Basel is a chance for revenge as they face the Spain team that beat them 1-0 in the World Cup final in Sydney in 2023.

Aaron Judge out of Yankees' lineup Saturday due to elbow injury
Aaron Judge is not in the New York Yankees' Saturday lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies due to an "elbow issue," manager Aaron Boone said. According to Boone, Judge had an issue throwing the ball from the outfield during Friday's series opener. He was taken for imaging, and the team is currently awaiting the results. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Judge was seen wincing and gripping his right hand after a throw during Tuesday night's win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The follow day he did not play right field but served as designated hitter. Boone said the slugger was "OK." "It's not much," Boone said. "It's just probably a throw that didn't feel great. He's not DH'ing because of that. I think he's all right." This is the first game Judge has missed this season for the Yankees, who are 56-47 and sit 5 1/2 half games behind the Blue Jays for first place in the AL East. They are set to face left-hander Ranger Suárez and the Phillies on Saturday. The Yankees have dropped three of their last four games, including a 12-5 defeat Friday in the series opener. Judge is putting up another MVP-caliber season for the Yankees. Through 103 games, he leads the majors in hits (129), OPS (1.160) and batting average (.342) and is second in home runs (37) and RBI (85). While Judge will sit for Saturday's game, the Yankees will welcome third baseman Ryan McMahon to the lineup after he was acquired in a Friday trade with the Colorado Rockies. McMahon will bat ninth as the team hopes it's found a solution to a struggling left side of its infield. The Yankees finish their series with the Phillies on Sunday afternoon before welcoming the Tampa Bay Rays for a four-game set beginning Monday.

Southampton midfielder Primus signs new deal
Southampton midfielder Atlanta Primus has signed a new one-year contract with the club ahead of the 2025/2026 season. The Saints announced the news via a post on their official club website earlier today. The 28-year-old midfielder joined Southampton in summer 2023 after opting to leave former club London City Lionesses at the end of her contract. The Saints acquired her services after she starred for the Jamaican national team at the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023. Primus was very much the standout performer for The Reggae Girlz as they battled bravely at the tournament. Primus made 19 appearances in all competitions for Southampton in her first season at St Mary's Stadium. She then joined The Saints' Barclays WSL2 rivals Charlton Athletic on loan for the whole of last season. Some may have wondered whether Primus' time as a Saint was over, however, the player has agreed to sign a new one-year contract and begin the new era under recently-appointed head coach Simon Parker. After signing on again at St Mary's Stadium, Primus said 'I'm really happy to have re-signed, it's an exciting time ahead and I'm really looking forward to the new season.' Further Southampton squad news will be announced in due course.
