Kenwyne Jones a doubt for Cardiff ahead of Bristol City clash

Posted Monday, October 26, 2015 by PA

Cardiff will check on striker Kenwyne Jones ahead of the Sky Bet Championship Severnside derby with Bristol City.

Jones was injured while on international duty with Trinidad & Tobago last week and swelling to his damaged shin delayed his return to the UK.

Alex Revell led the Bluebirds' line in Jones' absence in the 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough on Tuesday but he was replaced by Sammy Ameobi in the closing stages and the on-loan Newcastle striker played a key role in the own goal winner.

Midfielder Joe Ralls is rated as having a 50-50 chance to return after a hamstring injury but boss Russell Slade is still without long-term injured trio Bruno Manga, Ben Turner and Federico Macheda.

Bristol City have had Korey Smith back in harness for the last two games after the midfielder missed a month with a groin problem.

But Smith could miss the Cardiff game through illness.

Scott Wagstaff remains out with a calf problem but manager Steve Cotterill feels the extra few days recovery time will allow him to name a full squad apart from that.

"It's not like when we play Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday," Cotterill said.
