Cardiff City vs Wolves preview - Manga set for Cardiff return

Posted Friday, August 21, 2015 by PA

Bruno Manga could be in contention for Cardiff's Sky Bet Championship home game with Wolves on Saturday evening.

Gabon central defender Manga, the Bluebirds' player of the season last year, has not featured since suffering a knee injury on the club's pre-season tour of Holland.

Federico Macheda has also returned to training after a back problem but is unlikely to be involved as Cardiff chase a first win after three opening league draws.

Striker Kenwyne Jones is pushing for a start after coming on as a substitute in the last two games and could replace Alex Revell.

Wolves will be without Cardiff loanee Adam Le Fondre with the striker unable to play against his parent club under the terms of his loan.

Jordan Graham and Bright Enobakhare will be added to the travelling squad as Wolves look to hit back following their 3-2 defeat at home to QPR on Wednesday.

Jackett has no further injury worries for the trip to south Wales with Jed Wallace closing in on a return.

The midfielder, signed from Portsmouth in the summer, could overcome his knee injury to feature in the League Cup next week.
