Here are your Cardiff City headlines for Friday, October 7.
Rinomhota wants Zimbabwe call
Cardiff City's Andy Rinomhota is eyeing a jump to the international stage with Zimbabwe.
He was previously contacted by the Zimbabwean FA about playing for the country of his father's birth, however he was injured at the time and never went through the process of formerly assigning himself to the country.
"The time they called me up I was injured. Since then it would be an issue of applying for a Zimbabwean passport. I haven't gone around that process yet, but it’s something I will look into.
"AFCON is a great platform to showcase your abilities. It’s another experience and another side to my game I could add, getting international experience.
"I haven't looked at it too in depth, but I think I'd have to get a Zimbabwean passport."
Bagan and Sang back from injuries
Both Joel Bagan and Tom Sang are pushing for more first-team involvement after both players have recovered from injuries in recent weeks.
The fringe players might have expected more action in the first dozen games of the season, with Sang in particular standing out during pre-season.
However, minutes have been few and far between for both of them, but they are now fit and trying to work themselves into contention.
"We have a plan for everyone," Hudson said of the pair. "Joel was out with an injury. He is starting to push to come back in and around the first team, training. He is another player again playing with a smile on his face.
"Sangy had an ankle tweak a couple of weeks ago. He’s now pushing again. That’s all I can ask for. At the weekend though you can only pick 18."
Kieron Evans breaks three ribs
Cardiff City youngster Kieron Evans has broken three ribs while playing for his loan club Torquay United and looks set for a spell out of the side.
The winger has been impressing in recent weeks, picking up the man of the match gong for his display against Scunthorpe United last weekend.
However, this week he was taken off on a stretcher against Maidenhead United and he posted on Instagram afterwards: "Three broken ribs. Time to recover and I'll be back out there soon!
"Thanks for all the kind messages."
