Cardiff to Win 2-0

2-0 to the BLUEBIRDS!!

“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.

Experienced centre-back Tom Lees, centre forward Harry Leonard and midfielder Ben Woods are all expected to be involved at Kenilworth Road after lay-offs of various lengths.

Woods has not been seen since damaging his calf at Rotherham United on New Year’s Day.

Lees has not played since pulling out of a game at Bradford City after injuring his calf in the pre-match warm-up on February 14.

Leonard’s last game before a hernia operation was the 1-1 derby draw at Northampton Town on February 28.

New Zealand international Matt Garbett won’t be seen over Easter, but could be back for the League One game at Blackpool on April 11.

Posh still hope to get some minutes into midfielder Donay O’Brien-Brady and Sam Hughes before the season is over. Hughes hasn’t made a single appearance this season because of a calf problem.

"It’s fair to say the injuries we have suffered have made it the most demanding time of my career,” Posh boss Luke Williams said. “We’ve lost players in warm-ups and we’ve lost both centre-backs on the day of a game through illness. It’s been very challenging, but it’s my job to still find solutions and ways of winning games and that’s something I need to get better at.

"We’ve won one game without Tom Lees so it’s great to have him back. He and Harry have been in full training this week and are fine. Ben Woods took it a little easy, as he was supposed to, in the second team last week, but he is okay.

"I have to be careful with Ben purely because of the amount of time he was out. He will still have to be managed. If he starts tomorrow he’s unlikely to finish.

“Matty Garbett was out running on the field today and he did well, but Easter comes too soon for him. He won’t be far away after that though.

"It’s been frustrating as there was a time when we looked like we could beat anyone in the division, but that hasn’t been the case in the last few games."

The Posh players on international duty have all returned fit and healthy, although the minutes played and the miles travelled by centre-back David Okagbue are a concern. He flew back from Kazakhstan on Wednesday morning. Jimmy-Jay Morgan and George Nevett have also been away.
