Excitement is heating up as Cardiff City gears up to clash with Reading at the Cardiff City Stadium this weekend! But as the countdown begins, the Bluebirds face a few hurdles.
Dylan Lawlor, who recently picked up a groin injury while on international duty with Wales, remains a potential doubt for the big match. Although Coach Brian Barry-Murphy remains hopeful, Dylan has been struggling with recurring niggles and hasn’t trained with the team since returning. Fingers crossed he’ll be ready to fight fit by Saturday!
Cian Ashford, absent from the last game due to a back injury, is back on the training ground. There’s a good chance he’ll rejoin the squad for the Royals’ visit. Meanwhile, Alex Robertson will soon touch down in Wales after traversing the globe with Australia. Despite not playing in recent matches across North America, his enthusiasm to impress his national team manager and contribute to the Bluebirds remains unmatched.
It’s been a tough road to recovery since his pre-season injury, but hopes are high that Alex will soon reintegrate into the squad, firing on all cylinders. Coach Barry-Murphy has reiterated his belief in Robertson’s potential and is focused on getting him back in the game without the need for under-21s matches.
In other news, goalkeeper Jak Alnwick isn’t currently available and is attending to personal matters back in Newcastle. The team misses his presence and everyone’s looking forward to his swift return.
Keep your eyes peeled for this weekend as the Bluebirds take on Reading. It’s set to be an action-packed encounter you won’t want to miss! Will Cardiff City overcome these challenges and come out on top? Only time will tell! 💙⚽️
