Lee Peltier starts lengthy lay-off as Cardiff take on Burnley

Lee Peltier starts a lengthy spell on the sidelines as Cardiff host Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday.

The defender is facing two to three months out after dislocating a shoulder against Manchester City last weekend, but he will not require an operation as the injury will heal naturally.

Aron Gunnarsson (knee) remains out, but Sol Bamba is expected to return in defence with Bruno Ecuele Manga moving to right back in Peltier’s absence.

Steven Defour could feature in the Burnley side for the trip.

The Belgium international played for the first time since January in the midweek Carabao Cup defeat at Burton.

Ben Gibson (hernia) is still ruled out while Robbie Brady (knee) is making good progress and expected to return to action within the next fortnight.
