Cardiff goalkeeper Etheridge eyeing first team return against QPR
Posted Tuesday, October 01, 2019 by PA
Cardiff goalkeeper Neil Etheridge will be eyeing a return to the first team when the Bluebirds host QPR on Wednesday.
Etheridge has not played since picking up a hamstring injury in the opening-day defeat to Wigan but has been an unused substitute in Cardiff’s two most recent fixtures, with Alex Smithies keeping his place between the posts.
Robert Glatzel made a goalscoring return to the starting XI in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Hull, having sat out the win against Middlesbrough through illness.
The Bluebirds were dealt a blow last week when Isaac Vassell was ruled out for two months with a torn quad.
QPR captain Grant Hall is available for selection.
The centre-back missed the games against Millwall and West Brom through injury after he sustained a knock in training.
Manager Mark Warburton will be without suspended Yoann Barbet, however.
The French defender was sent off during his side’s 2-0 defeat to the Baggies on Saturday and is suspended for the trip to the Welsh capital.
