Tomorrows’ game with Bristol City will be the third time both club have player each other so far this season and there is a League game next Tuesday to make it four times. Cardiff City boss Dave Jones will have to leave it until almost the last minute before picking his team for this FA Cup 3th rd replay has illness and injury take it's toll on his squad.
It is defence where moat of Dave Jones troble can be found, Kevin McNaughton, Adam Matthews, Mark Hudson are reported to be struggling while in midfield Solomon Taiwo has come down with the virus which has hit the club with Cardiff latest youngest off the academy production line Aaron Wildig reported to carrying a knock. Other players out of contention midfielder Gavin Rae is out with a hamstring and Josh Magennis with a broken leg. The whereabouts of Kelvin Etuhu are unknown he must be injury again. It was expected Stephen McPhail he was diagnosed with stage one lymphoma back in Nov would be back for the end of the month.
On the plus side, Mark Kennedy will be back in squad after recovering from illness and Jay Bothroyd who played at Scunthorpe on Saturday and was not fully fit suffering from the after effects of the virus but is expected to be full fit tomorrow. Bothroyd said, "I've never suffered an illness like that before.
"I am getting back to 100 per cent, although I still have a bit of a cough."
Chris Burke who went off at Scunthorpe with a rib injury is expected to be ready for the Bristol City game.
Tuesday game could be the last ever game for Joe Ledley who is due to go into hospital which will keep him out for the rest of the season. He is out of contract in the summer and unless he signs, a new contract with the club will be free to find a new club. If City does win tomorrow then Ledley could feature in Saturdays’ FA Cup fourth-round clash game at the Cardiff City Stadium against Leicester City.
