$Morrison misses out for Cardiff with wrist fracture$

Cardiff have several concerns ahead of the Severnside derby with Bristol City on Sunday.

Sean Morrison missed last week’s 4-2 victory over Birmingham with a fractured wrist and Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock said his captain was due to see a surgeon on Friday.

Joe Ralls, who scored a hat-trick against Birmingham, has been troubled by an ongoing groin problem, while strikers Danny Ward (suspension), Robert Glatzel (hamstring) and Isaac Vassell (quad) will definitely be missing.

ButLee Tomlin has trained this week after missing the last couple of games and Northern Ireland winger Gavin Whyte should shake off a niggle to feature.

Bristol City have also had problems in the build-up to the Sky Bet Championship clash and influential midfielder Josh Brownhill could miss out.

Brownhill has not trained all week after suffering a back spasm in the Robins’ 2-2 draw at Barnsley.

Hungary midfielder Adam Nagy and full-back Jack Hunt are also injury doubts, while Jay Dasilva (tibia fracture) is unlikely to be back until December at the earliest.

Senegalese striker Famara Diedhiou completes a three-match ban, so Marley Watkins could again feature in attack alongside Andreas Weimann.
