Gunnarsson ruled out for Cardiff’s final Premier League push
Posted Friday, May 04, 2018 by PA
Cardiff are without Aron Gunnarsson for what they hope will be a promotion party at home to Reading on Sunday.
The Iceland midfielder has undergone knee surgery this week and misses out as Cardiff chase the win which will take them into the Premier League.
Marko Grujic or Craig Bryson are the favourites to replace Gunnarsson, who still hopes to make next month’s World Cup in Russia.
Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock also has to decide who gets the nod up up front between Kenneth Zohore and Gary Madine.
Reading welcome back defender Paul McShane (groin) and winger Callum Harriott (hamstring) as they seek the point which will almost certainly guarantee their Championship status.
Defender Leandro Bacuna is also available after completing a three-match suspension.
Loan signing Tommy Elphick is contention for only his second Royals start after recovering from a knee problem.
But fellow defender Tyler Blackett misses out again after his recent red card at Sheffield Wednesday.
