⚽️ Cardiff City Heartbreak! 😢
Bad news for Bluebirds fans as our promising midfielder, Eli King, is out for the season after a nasty knee injury. Coach Brian Barry-Murphy shared that the atmosphere in the changing room turned “sombre” after hearing the dreaded news. 🚑
King, who was all set to shine against Cheltenham Town in the Carabao Cup, unfortunately twisted his knee during training, leading to the discovery of an ACL injury. He’ll undergo surgery soon and is expected to be sidelined for about nine months. A tough blow for the 22-year-old, who was positioned as a key player for the club this season. 🕒
But there’s a glimmer of hope, as David Turnbull’s groin injury—which had fans worried—seems less severe. Barry-Murphy noted it’s similar to a previous injury that sidelined him for a mere two weeks. Fingers crossed, he might just be back in action for Saturday. 🤞
In contrast, Alex Robertson, struggling with a hamstring problem, hasn’t returned to training just yet, leaving the lineup uncertain for the upcoming matches. Let’s hope for a speedy recovery for all. 💪
Stay strong, Bluebirds! 💙 Keep supporting the lads and let’s fight through this tough spell together. #CardiffCity #Bluebirds #InjuryUpdate
