Cardiff City vs Fulham preview - Two in for Bluebirds

Posted Friday, January 09, 2015 by PA

Cardiff are set to hand debuts to two players when they host Fulham.

Left-back Scott Malone joined the Bluebirds earlier this week from Millwall and striker Alex Revell arrived from Rotherham.

And the duo are likely to be involved as 12th-placed Cardiff look to climb up the table against a Fulham side they met in the Premier League less than 12 months ago.

Russell Slade shuffled his pack for the FA Cup tie with Colchester last weekend with the likes of David Marshall, Kenwyne Jones, Sean Morrison and Bruno Manga all hopeful of earning recalls to the starting line-up.

Fulham will have Ryan Tunnicliffe and Alexander Kacaniklic available.

Midfielder Tunnicliffe is back with the Cottagers after a loan spell with Blackburn and winger Kacaniklic has returned from his stint with FC Copenhagen.

Lasse Vigen Christensen is an injury doubt after coming off early on in the goalless draw against Wolves last weekend with a recurrence of a hamstring problem.

Defenders Tim Hoogland (hernia) and Fernando Amorebieta (knee) are still on the sidelines.
