Cardiff fitness concerns as Ng closes in on return
- Published
Cardiff City are waiting on fitness assessments for Will Fish and Ryan Wintle prior to Saturday's visit of Rotherham United.
However, Brian Barry-Murphy will soon be boosted by the availability of Perry Ng and Alex Robertson who are nearing a return to action.
The Bluebirds are aiming for a second successive home win in League One when they welcome the Millers on the back of the midweek EFL Cup success against Swindon Town.
Midfielder Wintle – who has played every minute under the new head coach will be checked after what Barry-Murphy called "a bang" against the Robins.
The availability of defender Fish was also being reviewed, with fellow centre-back Jesper Daland seemingly unlikely to feature given he remains in discussions over a possible exit.
But Ng could boost the Bluebirds' defensive options for next weekend's game at Luton Town having returned to full training.
The 29-year-old has been absent since picking up a knee injury early in pre-season.
Barry-Murphy says midfielder Robertson – who suffered a gash to his leg in a friendly with Notts County - is "almost on a par with Perry in terms of timescale" although is yet to return to full training.
