Cardiff City vs Millwall preview - Turner boost for Cardiff

Posted Friday, April 17, 2015 by PA

Cardiff could be boosted by the return of Ben Turner when they host Millwall.

The centre-back has been sidelined since January with damaged ankle ligaments but he is in full training and may make the bench with a view to starting their final two Championship matches of the season.

Anthony Pilkington made a welcome return from injury against Ipswich on Tuesday, having been out since November with a hamstring issue, and the former Norwich man is likely to be in the squad again.

Craig Noone could be handed a recall on the wing after boss Russell Slade used Fabio there against the Tractor Boys while Joe Mason will keep his place after another fine display.

Millwall will be without Ed Upson through suspension after he was sent off during Tuesday night's 2-0 win over Wigan which kept their survival hopes alive.

Fellow midfielder Shaun Williams is a doubt after limping off against the Latics and full-back Shaun Cummings also sustained a knock in the bruising encounter.

Fit-again Nicky Bailey could step into a depleted midfield having come off the bench in midweek following a succession of calf problems which have hindered him all season.

Jos Hooiveld will be assessed after failing to shake off a knock in time to face Wigan and fellow defender Carlos Edwards is still out with a knee injury.
