Brentford vs Cardiff City preview - Same again for Bees

Posted Friday, March 13, 2015 by PA

Play-off chasing Brentford have no new injury worries ahead of the visit of Cardiff.

Midfielder Alan Judge got an hour under his belt in the 1-1 draw at Ipswich last weekend having recently returned from a knee injury, and if he has suffered no reaction boss Mark Warburton could name an unchanged side.

Midfielder Lewis Macleod, the January signing from Rangers, is still awaiting his debut having been carrying a hamstring injury.

Striker Scott Hogan remains sidelined as he recovers from cruciate ligament damage.

Aaron Gunnarsson is a doubt for Russell Slade's side after suffering an injury against Charlton.

The Cardiff skipper was substituted after half an hour and could see his place go to Joe Ralls who is pushing for a recall to the side.

Slade has also tipped his on-loan stars Conor McAleny and Matthew Kennedy to have a growing influence on his side, but the former is likely to retain his place on the wing for the trip to Brentford.

Goalkeeper David Marshall could return after a groin problem, while Alex Revell is pushing for a start after a disappointing start to life at Cardiff.
