Cardiff waiting on Ramsey and O'Dowda checks
- Published
Cardiff City will decide today on the availability of Aaron Ramsey and Callum O'Dowda for Saturday's derby clash with Swansea City.
Ramsey has not featured since the 2-0 defeat by West Brom on 13 February due to a calf issue while O'Dowda is continuing to return to full match fitness after a long spell on the sidelines with a groin injury.
Speaking ahead of his side's trip to the Swansea.com Stadium, Bluebirds boss Bulut revealed he will make a late call on his squad selection.
When asked if O'Dowda - who netted a dramatic 100th-minute winner against Ipswich Town last weekend - could start against the Swans, Bulut said: "For 90 minutes, probably not.
"It looks right now, the maximum could be 45 minutes for him, maybe 60 minutes.
"The final decision will be tomorrow (Friday) after training."
And on Ramsey, Bulut reponded: "We are going to decide tomorrow if he will be with us in the squad or not."
A combination of illness and injury have kept Callum Robinson out of action since Cardiff's 4-0 defeat by Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup on 6 January, although he has featured for the club's Under-21s this month.
Defender Mark McGuinness remains absent due to a hamstring injury.
