Neil Harris has Greg Cunningham will be unavailable for "a few weeks" due to injury.

Joe Bennett and Jordi Osei-Tutu will undergo late fitness tests for Wednesday's game against AFC Bournemouth.

Harris says he has "no concerns" if 19-year-old Joel Bagan has to be called upon, because he's "ready to play".

Ned, this is why Harris wanted and needed two extra players for his squad.

Team news

"Greg Cunningham is going to be out for a few weeks. It’s a hamstring strain. I really feel for him. He's been out for so long and has been so desperate to get his Cardiff City career going and he’s just looked so fit and reliable, finding his feet again after such a long time out. It's just a tweak of the hamstring. That’s a shame.

"Jordi and Benno have come off late in games, so we'll have to see how they go before tomorrow night's game, whether they can make it. I have no concerns over Bacuna filling in. A lot more would have been made of his performance [on Sunday] if he’d been a bigger name at a bigger club. His versatility is really vital to us."

Worst case scenario we will put bacuna there and bring in tomlin.

As we all know, Greg Cunningham out for a couple of weeks is Cardiff City speak for he wont be back til January. Both Barcelona and Dortmund had 17 year olds playing last night, so we shouldn't be afraid to put a 19 year old into the full back slot. Apparently he's good enough. so let's have a look.

And we needed them, unlucky to have three out potentially but thank God we have plenty of cover, we could even move Nelson to full back and put the new Centre half in the middle?

Fair comment, but we are not Barca or Dortmund, bit of a difference between the Championship and the Champions League.
