Joe Ledley has been diagnosed with a hamstring tear after being one of three Cardiff City men to limp out of the action in City's draw at Blackpool.
The injury has ruled Joe, who scored for Wales in Russia in their previous World Cup qualifier, absent for key Wales World Cup clashes with Lichenstein (in Cardiff this Saturday) and Germany (away next Wednesday). It is also certain to rule him absent from a City side who restart their Championship campaign at home to Charlton on October 18 and, most likely, a couple more outings aftewrads.
While a big blow to club and country, knowing Cardiff City, they will try to persevere fropm within their threadbare squad, most likely looking at Paul Parry filling the gap.
Peter Ridsdale is on record as saying Cardiff would look for a loan in the event of injury and/or if manager Dave Jones asked but I'll believe it when I see it and suspect they'll try to (excuse the pun) wing it and hope for the best.
