NEIL WARNOCK INJURY UPDATE:

Neil Warnock reveals there are no new injury worries ahead of the Derby game other than the players that were missing against Leeds on Tuesday.

He revealed Aron Gunnarsson was worse than Joe Ralls and had gone back to Iceland to see their specialists; something the city manager wasn't too happy with!

He stated that 'Rallsy' will do light training today so he wouldn’t write him off for the Derby game, which would be nice with no Craig Bryson available due to the 'parent club' rule.

Joe Ledley @ Derby Press Conference:

Wales ace and former Bluebirds Ledley has been speaking to the press this morning.

"I am fit and hoping to start. I just want to be playing, but that is down to the manager. They (Cardiff) have been fantastic, top of the League. It is going to be a difficult game, but we have got good players and a good squad.”

Injury update

Neil Warnock: "Not new ones, just the lads we missed against Leeds. Gunnars was worse than Rallsy. Rallsy will do light training today so I wouldn’t write him off, which would be nice with no Bryson."

Neil Warnock on Gunnarsson

Neil Warnock not happy as he announces that Aron Gunnarsson will travel to Iceland to seek treatment on his injury

"Gunnars will travel to Iceland because they want their own medical people to see him, which we’re not really happy about. He’s having another scan this morning. It’s such an important game for them, these two, they’re really crucial but they play him and he does it we’ll be very, very annoyed so we’ll make sure we send all the medical evidence over and if they play him we want written agreement if they see the scans it’s got to be their responsibility to pay his wages. I don’t see why we should if we gamble on him.

"It’s a slight tear between his hip and thigh, which you can see on the scan. It’s getting better but two top games like that when he’s not fit to play Saturday, I don’t think he should be travelling.”

No time to slip up against Derby after Leeds win

Neil Warnock plays down the chances of a repeat performance against Derby County after an incredible performance and atmosphere versus Leeds United on Tuesday night

"You can’t replicate that, it was the atmosphere, it won’t be dark with floodlight with zip on pitch. It’ll be Saturday afternoon with 19,000 I suppose. It will be more of a chess game than it was gung ho on Tuesday, you can’t replicate it we have to be professional and try and get the right result. They know what I think they can do if they all do it, if we do that we’re difficult to play against - we have all the attributes when we’re all at it and my job is to try and get them all at it.”

The injuries are piling up big mistake not signing Joe Ledley

Neil Warnock on Hoilett and Bamba

"I was really pleased I left Bamba and Hoilett out at Sunderland because they needed a rest and you saw the result of that the other night. I have to tinker but we have two weeks off after this so there’s no excuse about not giving it. Bryson’s been fantastic, but others have - Damour the other night has been a little find from the second division in France. It just shows you. Sol coming in to do a job he was excellent in what he did, whether we do that again we’ll discuss.”

Warnock on his incredible bond with Sol Bamba

"It’s mutual respect. We go back a few years now when he was at Leicester, said him then wished I had you when he was younger because I thought he was 35 then. I don’t know how old he is or what his passport says, I told him I wouldn’t let him get away with murder. We met socially then and we spent an hour talking. I respected he waited for me to wait until I found a club with Junior, it would have cost them a few quid from July to October. When someone has faith like that it helps. It’s not just on the field, it’s off it, he’s a leader, a colossus. But I do have to keep an eye on him and in check.”

Neil Warnock on his side's clash with Derby

"They’ll be up there. We looked at their likely team last night, when you’ve got people like Johnson, Huddlestone, Vydra, Weimann, I think Roy Keane and Martin O’Neill going to come tomorrow to take a look at Keogh. I think they’ll be up there top two, but long way to go. Look at Villa, just outside top six now and everyone was doom and gloom a few weeks ago. Anyone can win four on a row or lose four in a row. That’s why we have to enjoy this while we can.”

Neil Warnock reveals he offered Joe Ledley the chance to train with the Bluebirds

"I like Joe, I spoke to him and told him he was more than welcome to train with us but we couldn’t do anything until Christmas. But he’s for a fabulous club at Derby and he can be pleased, but unless the Gunnarsson situation changed he wasn’t the type of midfielder I was looking for - but he scored the other day he proved me wrong. He was a bright light for me at Palace, no problem with him, delight to see him in training, a manager’s dream, whereas I didn’t enjoy some of the players at that level. I hope he enjoys his day because I like him as a person and player, but he wants to win and score a hat trick if he could so we have to try and stop him.”

Neil Warnock not worrying about other teams

"I don’t think we have to worry about other sides we have to play our own game. I thought we were a little bit in awe, a little bit too respectful of Sheffield Wednesday to start, but we have to play our own game.”

Is Neil Warnock surprised by the club's progress under him?

"Not really, because I am good!"
