Thursday 12th February 2026


BBM: “Salech, We to be patient and their is No Timescale, We have to be Really be Patient.”


Brian Barry-Murphy says Dylan Lawlor is back in contention for Cardiff City ahead of the visit of Luton Town on Saturday.


BBM:

“Isaak’s [Davies] following concussion protocol. He was struck off the ball in an incident against Rotherham, and he had a delayed concussion. So we didn’t know about it until after the game, but he won’t be available until at the earliest, I would say, a week.”



BRIAN BARRY-MURPHY:


“Isaak Davies had concussion and is being monitored.”

“Rubin Colwill is still not ready to start, but making good progress.”







Brian Barry-Murphy:

"We're looking forward to it immensely, and we want to try to give the supporters what they crave on Saturday."



BBM:

"Yousef' has seen a specialist on his injury and he's making really good progress but no timescale on his return.”


“Yousef’s [Salech] is continuing his rehabilitation, so he won’t be available. Yousef’s seeing a specialist to have an update on his injury, and he’s making good progress, but no time scale. It’s not a common injury for us, so we just have to be really patient with him.“

BBM:

“Rubin’s [Colwill] back in full training, but he’s been out for a long time, so it’s just trying to balance when he’s actually to get back on the bench and play.“

DYLAN LAWLOR

The centre-back has been out for the best part of a month with a medial ligament injury, but is now in contention to face the Hatters at Cardiff City Stadium.

"He's back in full training. He'll be available," Barry-Murphy said when asked about Wales international Lawlor, adding that he has had to be cautious about easing the youngster back into the first team fold.

"He loves the game, he's desperate to train every single day. With that I think in recent weeks/months, there's been certain games where he's saying he's fit, he's ready but he's been carrying niggles and certain things that would keep him out of games normally.

"He tweaked his medial ligament in the game a couple of weeks ago and he's had to take a step back but, you know, he's desperate to get back fit and this week he's been flying and training.

"So I just think it's all part of, you know, his journey into adapting to this level and becoming more robust, but he's doing it.

"I don't worry about him any day because of how much he loves the game and how much he trains.

"He's a real leader within our dressing room and has a really refreshing mentality to attack every single game and just go for it.

"I think I'm overly cautious in terms of what I ask him before games. If I ask Calum Chambers how he's feeling and he has a certain issue, then he'll tell me straight away.

"I think Dylan's inexperience means that he might not be feeling 100 per cent, but he'll tell you 'I'm flying, I'm ready', and before you know it, he's not quite 100 per cent.

"He just wants to play every single game and train every single day and those are qualities I would never want to take away from but it just means I have to guard myself against taking him at face value when he says he's 100 per cent fit."

Brian Barry-Murphy praised Joel Colwill for his performance in Cardiff's 3-0 win against Rotherham last Saturday

After spending time out of the team, the 21-year-old has started four of the Bluebirds' last five league games

“I'm over the moon, I suppose, with the circumstances of the Rotherham game only heightening my pleasure at the resulting performance. It was a hugely satisfying day for us all.” Brian began. "The most important thing is to try and do your best and go for the games from the start, and not wait for anything.

“The previous week at Burton, we were a little bit tentative and didn’t quite show the best version of ourselves, and we were almost a little bit passive. From the first minute at Rotherham, I had a really good feeling that the team was in a great place and put into practice a lot of what we trained in the week. Once Ryan [Wintle] got sent off, it only seemed to increase the determination in the players to show that we could do it.

“It was a brilliant performance from the players, and we had so many supporters there."

Brian was full of praise for several of the City players, most notably Ollie Tanner. He commented on how privileged they are to have such strong attacking options.

“His decision-making in the final third is improving. I think he’s a player who’s different. He’s a bit of a throwback to wingers who can beat players one-on-one and create a lot of good situations for us and different situations for the opponents. I’m very pleased with him and really excited by what he can achieve.

“We believed in them from the start, and I suppose now that they’re doing everything that you’re seeing, it’s easy to forget where they’ve come from. All the players are improving all the time, and that competition between themselves on the training pitch is the most exciting part for me of being here.

“In any competitive team, you have to feel as if you have to perform every single day or else you won't play, and that focuses the mind like no other. So, it’s a very important part of why we wanted a small squad.”

City captain Calum Chambers was on press duty on Thursday, February 12th, previewing our upcoming clash with Luton Town.

The centre-back will come up against a former teammate in Hatters boss Jack Wilshere this weekend.


Calum Chambers :


"It'll be a good game," said Cal. "They're a good team.

"Obviously I know the manager. I'm looking forward to it. I've known Jack for a long time, from back in the day when I moved to Arsenal. He's a good guy. I'll talk to him after the game."

The Bluebirds are enjoying an incredibly positive campaign this time around, and our skipper reflected on his time at the Club so far.

Calum continued: "I'm really enjoying it this season. The way we're playing and the atmosphere around the training ground, the stadium and our fans is great. You don't want to wish it away. You want to bottle up this feeling.

"It was difficult. Going down last year. It's never easy. There were lots of voices and lots of people doing things. Making decisions. I never really even thought about leaving if I'm honest.

"I came here, and I said when I came that I wanted to settle somewhere and create memories and feel part of something. I guess that's part of the journey and what we're doing now is great.

"The reason why I wanted to join a Club like this is to feel all of those things, and I am. I'm really enjoying it to be honest."

Calum began, and finished, the press conference with his thoughts on the City support, who have travelled in their numbers all season away from home, and helped make Cardiff City Stadium a stronghold once again.

"The atmosphere is class," Cal added. "It's always really good.

"This year has been bouncing. Our fans are amazing. They really help us in games. The energy they give us on the pitch. You really do feel that, especially in certain moments in games.

"We love playing here. It's been a little minute and we're excited to get back."

LUTON WITH ONE OF THE WORST AWAY RECORDS IN THE LEAGUE :


BBM:

“ Luton Town “

“Their quality is obvious. A Premier League team so recently. You can see in every single position, they have players who are exceptionally good at building up. So a test like that focuses us perfectly, and it’s what we want, and we’re all really excited about it.

“We love playing at home. Our home record has been phenomenal this season, and the pitch is in fantastic condition. So we’re looking forward to it immensely, and we want to try to give the supporters what they crave on Saturday.

"We've seen how powerful it the support is this season when we're at our best and even when we haven't been at our best, there's been some games where it's been a rollercoaster ride or we've been beaten, but the support from the fans to our players has always been there, you can almost feel it and our intention is to give them more of the best of ourselves."
