Cardiff City have a few absentees:


Ebou Adams is out for a number of months after ripping his pectoral muscle off the bone in a pre-season friendly against Cambridge United. He has had surgery on it and you can read more about it here.

Rubin Colwill and Isaak Davies are unavailable. They've missed most of pre-season and are back on the grass building up their fitness. The end of August is the expected return date for those two.

Joe Ralls is fully fit and ready to go as the new club skipper after missing the final pre-season friendly through injury.

For the visitors, new signings Isaac Hayden and Gabriel Sara are likely to be unavailable, while there will be a late call on Kieron Dowell. Ben Gibson (calf) and Sam Byram (thigh) also miss out this weekend. Tony Springett is also unavailable, having rolled his ankle.
