FULHAM v CARDIFF CITYWednesday 20th October, 7.45pm
Sky Bet Championship
Craven Cottage Cardiff City team: Smithies, Ng, McGuinness, Flint (C), Bagan,Vaulks, Bowen, Pack, Giles, Colwill, Moore
Subs: Phillips, Morrison, Brown, Patten, Evans, Harris, Collins
Team News:
Tom Sang and Isaac Vassell both out.
Tom Sang still looks unlikely to be in contention for Fulham as he nurses a toe injury.
The right-back underwent surgery on it in pre-season and Mick McCarthy said it had flared up ahead of the Swansea game, making him unlikely to feature.
It remains to be seen the extent to which Leandro Bacuna's injury against Swansea affected him. Bacuna went down in the second half before being substituted.
Elsewhere, Cardiff have a relatively clean bill of health. McCarthy said Sam Bowen had recovered from illness ahead of the Swansea game, so it must be assumed that he was omitted from the squad purely from a tactical perspective.
