⚽️ Where’s Jak Alnwick? 🤔
Cardiff City’s keeper, Jak Alnwick, has been mysteriously absent from recent line-ups, leaving fans puzzled. Despite having extended his contract till 2026 and serving as captain in the past, he now seems to be sidelined.
The squad saw an overhaul in the summer, with a focus on youth from the academy under manager Brian Barry-Murphy. Newcomers like Gabriel Osho, Omari Kellyman, and Nathan Trott have joined the ranks, alongside academy grads like Matt Turner, who are already making an impact.
In the Vertu Trophy match, when Trott was rested, even uncapped teen Dan Higgs was selected over Alnwick. Barry-Murphy’s succinct response to Alnwick’s exclusion? “No reason.”
This shift has sparked a buzz among academy players, eager for their own chance at the spotlight. According to Higgs, Turner’s debut shows just how crucial it is to shine in training, inspiring fellow hopefuls to up their game.
It’s an exciting time for Cardiff, as young talents prove their worth and aim for that first-team breakthrough. With such healthy competition, who knows what the future holds? 💪🔵 #CardiffCity #Bluebirds #TeamTalk
