Idriss Saadi is on his way back to fitness

Cardiff City have been handed a big boost with striker Idriss Saadi finally back in action following his injury nightmare and scoring on his return too.

The 23-year-old marksman played for the Bluebirds today in a development game in the Welsh capital against QPR and grabbed a first-half goal before being taken off at half-time.

The Bluebirds won the game 3-2 with Cardiff’s other two strikes coming from Tommy O’Sullivan.

But it is the return of Saadi which could pivotal for manager Russell Slade as he looks to keep his side’s Championship play-off push on course.

Saadi was a surprise signing by the Welsh club at the end of the summer transfer window from French club Clermont.

The frontman had already suffered from injuries in France having played little football in nine months there due to knee ligament damage prior to signing for the Bluebirds. He was carefully monitored by the Cardiff medical staff, but suffered another injury that ruled him out of the start of the campaign.

But Saadi finally saw action for Slade when he came off the bench with 13 minutes left in the Bluebirds’ 2-0 win over Reading back on November 7.


But it later emerged he had injured his hamstring again and Saadi has not featured since. Slade admitted it has been a deeply frustrating time for Saadi and warned Saturday’s trip to Huddersfield would still be too soon for the striker despite the return to action.

“He’s trained now for the last two weeks with the first team, more and more so,” said Slade.

“The Huddersfield game though might be a bit early for him. We might want to give him another game. But the signs are very positive.

“I am really looking forward to him getting a game under his belt, it will be good for him. It has been a frustrating time for him, incredibly frustrating to be honest.”

Tommy O'Sullivan went very close to getting a Pilkington hat trick". His header beat his own keeper but luckily hit the post and came back out to safety

Great news the pacey striker we have been looking for maybe

Yes Yes Yes and good for O Sullivan aswell.

What stood out for me was his impressive control on what appears to be a very poor pitch.

No panic, total control and nicely placed into the net. Looks Good

So that's where our old pitch went. Good goal considering.

Looks a good player

Be nice if he can get 15 injury free minutes on weekend

Looks as strong as an ox, great control on our old pitch, if he control the ball on that then I'm looking forward to seeing him on a decent pitch. Looked happy to have scored as well, can tell he's busting to get back.

Cheers Rydogs

It was only against kids, but encouraging.

Who was the left back

Will be nice to see him leading the attack supported by Pilks

Crucial 45 mins for Idriss....hope the club take their time with his conditioning this go around!

Marksman - where do they get these phrases?

Who does he think he is - the American Sniper man, William Tell, Butch Cassidy

ps.

He did look good in that bit.

Watching the entire 45 minutes , he is obviously still some way off being fully match fit and I hope the management don`t try and rush him back too early. A couple more games for the development side first (maybe 60 minutes then a full game) might be a better option for now.
