Darcy Blake is unavailable for tomorrow's home fixture with Southampton and has probably ruled himself out of F.A. Cup semi-final contention at Wembley too with an injury picked up with Wales Under-21 that forced him to withdraw from their midweek squad that won in Bosnia.
Injuries happen but it's the circumstances and injury type that has Dave Jones asking questions and banging his head on the wall. Darcy picked up a groin injury in training with Wales and, according to Jones, those injuries don't happen in training.
He doesn't elaborate but is perhaps hinting that the warm up/care couldn't have been right.
It must be a devastating blow for the player and it's tough on Cardiff City with Kevin McNaughton also struggling to be available with a hamstring and, with the loan transfer window closed, The Bluebirds will have to use a player out of position in an emergency full back role against Southampton - Trevor Sinclair or Riccy Scimeca - with Sinclair likely to get the nod despite looking less than convincing doing it against Leicester for a half recently.
