BBM :

“On Salech, the Bluebirds boss said :

“He looks like he's ready to go back into training.”

“After the international break he'll hopefully get more volume of training with us and give himself a chance to be involved with the squad."

The Danish forward is still the Bluebirds' top scorer this season despite being sidelined since sustaining a neck injury against Stockport in January.

City’s next game is Monday 6th April away to Peterborough.

By the sounds of that Ned and a few will be dissapointed after saying he would start after the international break.
It sounds more like another few games .

I don't think we will see him this season. They won't risk him and promotion is just a matter of time.

If we are promoted before his return in planned It would not surprise me if they then decide to be cautious and not play him until the new season

If we secure promotion, he may get some minutes at the very end of the season.

Richy said he did not exspe t him to play again way back ,and i said a neck injury for a striker who heads the ball more than most, is probably lying the worse injury you can get i damaged my neck as a decorator it to 6 weeks to be back at work and another 2 weeks to forget about it .
So as a striker everytime you jump to head a ball you are waiting for that challenge which could damage you all over again,
Its more physcological than physical.

We're better off wrapping the lad in cotton wool for next year .

I highly doubt he'll start at Peterborough. Maybe be a sub at a push.

But I do expect him to play before the season ends. Maybe able to start against Vale in three weeks possibly.

It was never said. BBM said something along the lines of hopefully we'll see how he's coming along after the international break and it was taken as he'll be ready to go by Peterbourgh

BBM should leave YS out of the first team.get him fit and stronger,ready to go for next season.it not worth risking him playing with so few games left this season.

I admit I thought that and said it but I misunderstood BBM's comments.

The league title is as good as gone.
We should stroll the second league position to ensure promotion.
No need to rush him back.

We are going up with or without him. I'd much rather have him fully fit for next year than needlessly risk him

Yes, I suppose, only if he's definitely fit and ready :thumbup:
