Warnock said he hoped Peltier would play again before the end of the season - although he expects him to be missing for 2 months.
Manga probably out for a similar time - but maybe as soon as 6 weeks.
Will be a miss against Leeds as their game is built around putting a lot of crosses in for wood to get in the end of. I fancy our centre backs to deal with wood if we can limit the supply. Big game for our fullbacks
You are so shitQuote:

Bennett on the left and jazz or possibly even Connelly on the right. Does Connelly even play for us still?Quote:

Declan John coming back into the frame?Quote:

The Bluebirds defender has undergone ankle surgery after being injured in the 2-0 win over Preston'.
"We'll know more about that in two weeks time, but he's out for a few months we think," he said.
Warnock also praised the impact Garry Monk has had at Leeds United since he took over last June ahead of Cardiff's visit to Elland Road.
The Cardiff boss hopes defender Peltier could possibly return to action before the end of the season.
"Apparently the operation went better than expected," he told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"They took three or four big chunks of bone out of his ankle that. It's quite amazing how he's played for as long as he has really.
"He should be ok by the end of the season."

He said last week he hoped Peltier could carry on 'until we are safe' and then have the operation.Quote:

In his interview today Warnock said the coaching staff all had a look at the bits of bone taken out of Peltier's ankle and couldn't understand how he had played at all in recent times. He will be a big miss.

He's a good centre half and a fine City servant just not a full back , ok as a sub , just not his game.Quote:
