Damian Gimenez looks likely to leave Ashton Gate this week after rejecting the chance of an extended trial at City.

The Argentine trialist broke his nose during a match on tour in Latvia, but boss Gary Johnson made it clear the door was still open for the 25-year-old when it had fully healed.

However, in the meantime Gimenez has received offers from back home in South America and now looks likely to move on.

Gary told bcfc.co.uk: "He has a couple of other offers on the table and it looks as though he will take up one of those.

"I can only offer him something very short-term at the moment. I've spoken to his representatives and a trial period is not what they want at this stage.

"He has been offered contracts at two other clubs and I expect him to fly home very soon."
