Cup changes for Cardiff with Gunners on the horizon
Posted Monday, August 27, 2018 by PA
Cardiff manager Neil Warnock will ring the changes for the Carabao Cup visit of Norwich.
Goalkeeper Alex Smithies and defender Greg Cunningham are expected to make debuts following their summer arrivals.
Lee Peltier, Jazz Richards, Loic Damour and Gary Madine are among those expected to get game-time as Warnock rotates heavily with Sunday’s Premier League game against Arsenal in mind.
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing was injured in a collision with Huddersfield goalkeeper Ben Hamer on Saturday and he will sit out the second-round tie alongside Junior Hoilett (groin) and Aron Gunnarsson (knee).
Norwich boss Daniel Farke will shuffle the pack with the East Anglian derby at Ipswich awaiting them on Sunday.
Summer signing Emi Buendia could make his first start for the club after two substitute appearances in the last week and Mario Vrancic may also be in contention after injury.
Other players who are expected to start are Christoph Zimmermann, Ben Godfrey, Dennis Srbeny and Marco Stiepermann, just as they did in the 3-1 home win over Stevenage in the previous round.
Michael McGovern was in goal for that tie and could again deputise for Tim Krul while Kenny McLean is ruled out until after the international break with a ligament injury.
