'Someone's spreading lies' — Steve Morison clarifies latest Cardiff City injury concern:
Striker Isaak Davies' return-to-play timeframe has been pushed back even later than Cardiff City originally hoped for and the player will not be rushed back to action, Bluebirds boss Steve Morison has confirmed.
Davies aged 20 scored two goals in 30 appearances for the Bluebirds last season, has yet to appear this season and there were rumours of a bid from Burnley last month whilst Davies was still injured, since then there has been no interest for the striker.

The exciting young forward is yet to kick a ball this season owing to a knee injury he sustained at the beginning of the summer. It was hoped that he would use August to get his fitness levels up to the rest of the squad's, however the rehabilitation process has been slower than anticipated.
Morison on Saturday rubbished social media claims that new striker Kion Etete would be out for around two months calling people liars in spreading these rumours after rolling his ankle in a game for the under-21s, telling fans to "ignore" the reports, saying Etete is injured but he will only be out for weeks not months.
'Someone's spreading lies' —
More fans forum claims emerged regarding another budding forward, Isaak Davies, over the weekend, claiming he had suffered a setback on the road to recovery. However, those rumours were not rubbished so quickly, it seems they are true.
STEVE MORISON:
"It's just more of a slow process than we hoped it would be," Morison said of Davies. "He was due to play in the under-21s last week and he is not quite right yet.
"Obviously he is a big player for us and he is someone we are not going to rush until he is ready. He is still a good few weeks away yet."
Davies, of course, was the story of a £2.5m transfer bid from Championship rivals Burnley a couple of weeks back, an offer which now seems weird as Davies has now been out injured for two months.
Morison confirmed there had been no offers for any other Cardiff player in the intervening period and appeared to put to bed the notion that the Clarets were still interested in Wales youth international Davies.
STRVE MORISON:
"You want interest in your players because it means you are doing something right and they are doing something right," Morison added.
"Whether we have to bite on the interest is our prerogative. The only interest we had was the Isaak one and that's gone away now."
