Cardiff City have received a boost ahead of their Champions

Thu Aug 13, 2026 4:16 pm

Cardiff City have received a boost ahead of their Championship opener against Wrexham, with Brian Barry-Murphy confirming Gabriel Osho is fit to feature while Rubin Colwill has been making good progress this week.

Cardiff's defensive options have been stretched in recent weeks, with Will Fish facing around three months out following hernia surgery and Calum Chambers still recovering from a knee issue.

Dylan Lawlor has also been unavailable, while Rubin Colwill has been nursing an ankle problem.


Rubin Colwill's ankle problem has also kept him out, although Cardiff are hopeful of seeing him return sooner rather than later.

"Rubin's doing really well and making great progress. He has a chance," the manager said.

Good to have Rubin on bench. Didn’t know that Osho was a doubt tbh.

To be fair, difficult to see how Osho being fit and Lawlor being 'unavailable' is a boost in anyone's language.

My views on Osho are clear - he's a liability.

WTF does 'unavailable' mean? If he's injured, tell us that and what it is and how long he'll be out. The Lawlor situation stinks.

My views on Osho are clear - he's a good defender.

So I see it as a boost.

BBM mind games. Chambers and Osho will play at centre half. If Scanlon signs before Monday you could also see Bagan slide over to centre half if either of those are struggling. Moylan will start in the 10 with Rubin on the bench.

I mean it's been made clear that Lawlor is carrying some sort of knock that doesn't have a clear return timetable. What about it stinks?

'Some sort of knock' when we have a roomful of Doctors and Physios at the club is rather non-specific, don't you think?

Maybe they’re keeping it from us; or more importantly, Wrexham.
