QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Which has more occupants - Cardiff City's Dressing Room or Treatment Room?
Which has more occupants - Cardiff City's Dressing Room or Treatment Room?
A typical November scene with Cardiff City's personnel
Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse on the injury front at Ninian Park, they have ... and City have a crisis on their hands.
After losing strikers Ross McCormack and Jay Bothroyd to hamstrings a fortnight ago against Wolves, it was announced yesterday that last weekend's victory over Crystal Palace came at the expense of Joe Ledley being out for upto 1 month due to a hand operation but, today, it was additionally confirmed that Peter Whittingham will be absent for upto 3 months with torn ankle ligaments from the same game.
City's only just saw Mark Kennedy returned from injury but other long-term absentees in Riccy Scimeca and Tony Capaldi.
I make that 6 current casualties - a nightmare when Cardiff are operating with an effective squad of just 20 players plus kids.
Ross McCormack may return by the weekend. If so, he may operate in wide midfield with Parry on the opposite side for a makeshift solution or Darcy Blake could be added. However with Cardiff facing 3 big games over the next 11 days in Plymouth away, Reading home and Swansea away - the temptation must be there again for Dave Jones to hit the loan market.
Good Luck to all the walking wounded ... for theirs and City's sake, let's hope for the speediest of recoveries.
