Brentford vs Cardiff City - Andreas Bjelland set to spend some time out
Posted Monday, March 12, 2018 by PA
Andreas Bjelland is expected to miss Brentford’s home game with Sky Bet Championship high-flyers Cardiff and spend some time on the sidelines.
The Danish defender was forced off after being at fault for Millwall’s first-minute winner on Saturday, and Bees boss Dean Smith later revealed Bjelland had felt an injury in the warm-up.
Chris Mepham is set to come in and form a centre-back partnership with John Egan.
Florian Jozefzoon missed the Millwall defeat with a gashed foot and will be checked.
Second-placed Cardiff expect to be without influential midfielder Joe Ralls again.
Ralls suffered a knee injury in training and has missed Cardiff’s last two games.
Craig Bryson could also miss out after limping out of Saturday’s 3-2 win against Birmingham – the Bluebirds’ sixth straight league success.
But Callum Paterson should shake off a knee injury and Gary Madine and Sean Morrison are in contention to start after returning to the bench on Saturday after injury.
