Posted Friday, August 31, 2018 by PA
Cardiff have injury problems ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League visit on Sunday.
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has been ruled out for three months after damaging knee ligaments, and fellow wideman Junior Hoilett faces a fitness test on a groin injury that has ruled him out for two weeks.
Aron Gunnarsson will not return until after the international break because of a knee injury that has ended his hopes of linking up with Iceland following the Arsenal game.
Mesut Ozil has recovered from illness and is available for the visitors.
The 29-year-old missed last weekend’s win over West Ham but has trained all week and could return in south Wales.
Laurent Koscielny (Achilles), Sead Kolasinac (knee), Ainsley Maitland-Niles (leg) and Carl Jenkinson (ankle) are missing as Lucas Torreira pushes for his first start.
