Willock unlikely to face Wrexham in EFL Cup

Cardiff City head coach Brian Barry-Murphy has said winger Chris Willock is unlikely to be available for their EFL Cup game against Wrexham.

Willock was not included in the Bluebirds squad for the 1-0 defeat at Bolton Wanderers on Satuday.

After the match Barry-Murphy revealed Willock had been sent for a scan on a quad injury suffered in training.

"He had an issue before the international window with his quad," said Barry-Murphy.

"He played through that against Reading, but yesterday he couldn't complete training. We'll have to watch this space on that."

Asked if Willock will be available to face Wrexham on Tuesday, Barry-Murphy said: "I would say no."

The defeat by Bolton was Cardiff's first away loss in League One this season, though the Bluebirds remained top of the table after Bradford and Stevenage drew 1-1 later in the day.

Bolton's winner, scored by Amario Cozier-Duberry, came in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

"It's a very disappointing goal from our point of view," said Barry-Murphy.

"With it coming so late you can't do anything about it.

"When something like that happens it's obviously very disappointing for us all.

"When you don't have enough attacking momentum, you're always in danger of conceding a goal like we did, and today that was the case."
