Cardiff City vs Crystal Palace (Team News)

Cardiff City are suffering somewhat of a mini-injury crisis brought on by some bad luck and a small squad.


Capaldi (knee) and Scimeca (ankle) remain sidelined but Mark Kennedy returns and will fill the left back slot vacated by Miguel Comminges who is suspended.


Darren Purse had his ban overturned so is available but striker Ross McCormack suffered a relapse of a hamstring injury during training and will not make his comeback. Fellow striker Jay Bothroyd is out for another week with a similar problem.


A mystery bug has continued to disrupt preparations though is not expected to rule any further players out after Ledley and McNaughton recovered.



For Crystal Palace: Kepper Julian Speroni should recover from a knee injury and will be available.


Craig Beattie has extended his loan with the Eagles and is expected to lead the line again against the Bluebirds.
