Cardiff City will be boosted by the return of three players from injury for Sunday’s Championship encounter at Bristol City.

Winger Callum O’Dowda is available after missing Tuesday’s 1-0 win over Millwall as a precautionary measure.

Midfielder Manolis Siopis returns having been absent for the previous two matches.

And centre-back Jasper Daland – who interim manager Omer Riza had said earlier this week was close to a return – is in contention after an ankle injury caused the Norwegian to miss four games.

“Jesper trained today, so it was nice to see him back,” said Riza.

“He was training for a week but he’s been getting through certain phases of his rehab. Today he trained really well, so he will be up for selection.

“Callum O’Dowda trained today and trained really well, he is ready for selection.

“Sio [Siopis] trained with medical today but will be training tomorrow with us, so he is up for selection.”

Cardiff are still without long-term injury absentees such as midfielder Aaron Ramsey and striker Kion Etete.
