Danny Ward has his heart set on returning to the Cardiff City squad against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday.
Tuesday 24th October 2018
The former Huddersfield striker has been out since suffering an injury against Spurs at Wembley.
DANNY WARD:
Ward says: “Returning for the game at Liverpool was my target and we’ll see how this week goes."
“The injury has been coming along quite well and I have been out running this week, but I am also taking it day-by-day.
“It’s been frustrating not being out on the pitch, but it was also fantastic to see the boys win against Fulham. We are a tight-knit group."
“I’m gutted not to be playing, but I could not have been happier to see Josh (Murphy), Bobby (Decordova-Reid), Callum (Paterson) and Kads (Kadeem Harris) score their goals."
“The atmosphere in the dressing room after that was great."
“Playing Liverpool off the back of a win feels good. Our training ground is a good place to be right now."
“We know how tough it will be on Saturday, but winning against Fulham was brilliant and put everybody in a much better frame of mind."
“Don’t get me wrong, we will all battle to the end of this season, but it was getting tough and winning lifted everybody."
“We have shown we can put the ball away and now it’s about working to build on momentum and confidence.”
If Ward, aged 26, misses out on playing at Anfield, he will be intent on ensuring he is fit and ready for back-to-back home fixtures against Leicester and Brighton.
