Some Bristol City fans have been reacting to the news that Alfie Mawson has returned to Fulham.

The centre-back’s loan spell with the Robins has been cut short, and he will now return to west London to continue his rehabilitation from injury.

Mawson only played 14 times for City as his troublesome knees forced him to miss a lot of football once again this season, but based on the fans’ responses, he was very impressive when he did play.

Unfortunately, he won’t be playing again this season. The defender’s knee problem has ruled him out for the foreseeable future, and even if he was fit, he’s not registered in the Whites’ 25-man squad.

Perhaps Mawson could be an asset for Fulham next term, especially if Scott Parker’s side are relegated to the Championship, as he seems to have really made an impression at Ashton Gate.

Here’s what Bristol City fans have been saying on social media…
