A mystery illness has hit Cardiff City on the eve of tomorrow's West London clash with QPR as three unnamed players have been stuck by a bug and stopped from travelling with the squad to reduce the chances of others being affected too.
While it remains unclear whether the players will travel tomorrow or who they are, youngsters Darren Dennehy and Jon Brown have been added at the last minute. Dennehy is suggested to be in line for a possible debut which would suggest that Darren Purse or Roger Johnson (or both!) are on the sick list. Brown was due to fly to Turkey today with Wales Under 19's for an international but has now linked with the first team squad instead.
It is the second successive weekend that City's pre-game preparations have been hit by illness as last week's game against Wolves saw a couple of players affected by flu but they recovered sufficiently to play.
