Bristol City midfielder Adam Nagy has been named in the Hungary international squad for their upcoming matches against Uruguay and Wales, despite having not featured for his club since August.

The 24-year-old has been absent following an ankle injury he suffered during the Robins' second match of the season, but he has now been called up to the Hungary squad on three occasions during this time.

The first of these call-ups saw Nagy feature during a clash with Slovakia back in September, but he further aggravated his injury during this appearance, and he then suffered a further setback during his second call-up.

Hungary will of course be looking to do all they can to get a player with Nagy's quality involved in the side ahead of the crucial clash with Wales, but Lee Johnson will surely not be happy with the prospect of the midfielder jeopardising his recovery again.

Bristol City have noticeably missed Nagy from their midfield during his absence. The Robins have the likes of Josh Brownhill, Callum O'Dowda and Han-Noah Massengo to fill in, but they are definitely in need of a further option in the centre of the pitch which Nagy will be able to provide.

He is now nearing the end of his recovery which means he should be in contention to feature against Cardiff on Sunday, according to Bristol Live, but the club still have a big decision to make with regard to Nagy's upcoming international stint.

The club will perhaps be more relaxed over the issue if Nagy features against the Bluebirds and comes through unscathed, but they must take a firmer stand if the former Bologna man is not fit enough to feature for the Robins before the international break.

It has now reached the point where Nagy can now not afford the risk of picking up another injury with the national side, as he then risks repeating this tedious recovery cycle one again. Therefore, Bristol City should demand that Nagy remains in the south-west if he is not fully fit.

It may seem like a harsh and restrictive move for the Robins to prevent Nagy from representing his country, but past events suggest they now have good reason to believe that Hungary will not pay much consideration to his recovery when deciding whether to play him in the vital Wales fixture.

The 24-year-old will of course want to represent his country at every opportunity, but the Robins should be preparing themselves to take a strong stand against the call-up if Nagy does not feature this weekend.
