Cardiff City could welcome Josh Murphy back into the fold this weekend, with the winger having missed the midweek clash with Birmingham City due to illness.

The Bluebirds are likely to be boosted by the return of Joe Ralls, who has served his one-match suspension following his red card against Swansea City in the South Wales derby last weekend. Neil Harris said Ralls has carried a niggling injury over recent weeks, though, so it is not a formality that he slots straight back in.

Junior Hoilett remains a doubt, however, with the Canadian having been absent from the last three matches owing to a hip flexor issue.

Other longer-term absentees include Kieffer Moore (hamstring), Jordi Osei-Tutu (hamstring) and Lee Tomin (groin), all of whom will not be in contention this weekend.


Isaac Vassell is also a long-term absentee.

As for the hosts, they are still without a number of injured players, including the likes of goalkeeper Tim Krul, young attacker Adam Idah and winger Onel Hernandez.
