From the BBC website:
Cardiff City goalkeeper Nathan Trott has been given a '50-50' chance of being fit for Saturday's League One match against Plymouth Argyle by Bluebirds boss Brian Barry-Murphy.
But midfielders David Turnbull and Alex Robertson have both been ruled out for the game at the Cardiff City Stadium (12:30 BST).
Trott has a tight hamstring while Robertson has also been complaining of his own hamstring pains.
Turnbull has a had a groin scan which has showed he will be out for around 10 days.
Trott's potential omission from the Argyle game would come as a blow to Barry-Murphy's side, who sit top of League One thanks in some part to Trott's performances in goal.
The 26-year-old, on loan from FC Copenhagen, has conceded just one goal in five appearances. If missing he will be replaced by either Matthew Turner, who started the season in goal against Peterborough United, or Jak Alnwick, who has returned to training after illness.
When asked about Trott's impact, Barry-Murphy said: "He's done exceptionally well. He's had a really positive influence on the team which is what we hoped for.
"The opportunity for Matt Turner was evident on Tuesday [against Cheltenham Town], you saw the energy he created for the team because of how good he was.
"If Matt Turner feels he has no chance of playing, that's not what we want."
