‘ Breaking Cardiff City Star out for the season ‘

Bit of a blow


Cardiff City rocked by devastating injury blow as Nathaniel Mendez-Laing ruled out for the rest of the season, scans have confirmed and Harris says Laing will miss rest of the season.

He’s been useless pretty much the entire season.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing unlikely to play again this season
The big injury news from today’s press conference, and it’s not good.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing is unlikely to play again this season after rupturing a hamstring.

On injuries, Neil Harris says:

“It’s a hamstring with Mendez. He has completely ruptured the hamstring.

Although he has been poor this season this is still a massive blow to the squad. Time for whyte to step up now. Can’t see Murphy going anywhere now - if the club were planning to offload him.

Anybody watch the U23's regularly.

Who is the youngster they have been raving about (left winger I think).

What is he like. Fast/Tricky/Good Crosser/Good Finisher etc

Perhaps he will get a chance on Saturday.

Cardiff City winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing is likely to miss the rest of the season with a serious hamstring injury.

The former Wolves player was injured in the 2-1 Championship victory at Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday, 29 December.

Cardiff manager Neil Harris has revealed Mendez-Laing, 27, will have surgery next week.

"He has completely ruptured the hamstring," said Harris.

"The early diagnosis of the scan is that he is not going to play again or very unlikely to play again this season.

"So he is certainly ruled out for the foreseeable future, once he sees the specialist on Monday and has the operation - probably on Tuesday - we might get more of an idea of whether there's any hope at all of getting him back sooner than we expect.

"But at the moment we have to presume its worst case scenario."

Mendez-Laing, a free signing from Rochdale in 2017, has started 15 Championship games this season and was the first goalscorer under the Harris regime in the 2-2 draw at Charlton Athletic, in November.

"He has been great around the place," said Harris.

"As a winger he is going to be like Junior Hoilett and Josh Murphy, like Gavin Whyte - one minute up there, next minute they are going to be down on performances, but that is what they are. That's why fans love watching wingers play, I love wingers in my team.

"So it's a disappointment but what I will say is moving on from Mendez's disappointment there has to be an opportunity for somebody else now to grasp that."

Never Good News if a player is out for the season..Will be interesting to see if NH keeps holds on to the other wingers .

Didn't I read on here,it was a done deal for that spanish winger? Unless it was a loan,looks like that's dead in the water.

Daya - the second biggest troll on here

He’s been useless pretty much the entire season.

Really

His passing stats would have been the same for the year anyway, down the wing and pass it back to the opposition.
