12/01/19
Danny Ward is set to miss out for the hosts after suffering a blow to the head last week, while striker Kenneth Zohore is also out with a thigh problem.
The Dane isn't due to return to full training until next week, but young striker Rhys Healey could be involved after returning from a recent loan spell with Milton Keynes.
Kadeem Harris is ruled out with a shoulder injury.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield are set to be boosted by the return of Christopher Schindler from suspension, while on-loan forward Jason Puncheon make his debut.
Tommy Smith, Aaron Mooy, Danny Williams and Abdelhamid Sabiri also remain sidelined.
Cardiff City have made an additional 300 available for Saturday’s home game against Huddersfield Town.
These tickets are in Ninian 119, part of what is usually the away end
These tickets are available because Huddersfield returned part of their allocation.
It’s pay on the day for Cardiff fans and if you buy a ticket in advance, you get a Bournemouth ticket free
NEIL WARNOCK:
Team news:
"We’ve got a few players with knocks. Most of them trained yesterday, so we’ll have to wait and see. Nothing concrete on that.
Kenneth’s looking sharp. He starts full-time training next week. His eyes are bright and it’s nice to see. He’s worked really hard to get back. It was disappointing to lose him on the Man United."
"He’ll be struggling to get back for next weekend. He might get on the bench."
Neil Warnock Rhys Healey:
"He’ll probably be involved at the weekend. He can only go back to MK. He’s looked sharp in training. You know what you get with him. He’ll cause problems."
Danny Ward doubtful for Huddersfield
NEIL WARNOCK:
On Ward, Warnock said:
"He’s seen a neurosurgeon. He seems okay but I can’t say too much on it."
"I doubt he’ll be fit for tomorrow. It gives others an opportunity."
"If he’s not alright tomorrow he’ll probably be okay for next week."
INJURIES:
Kenneth Zohore still out injured.

About Huddersfield Town
Huddersfield Town Association Football Club is a professional football club in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England, which competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football.
In 1926, Huddersfield became the first English club to win three successive league titles, a feat which only three other clubs have matched. The first two league titles were won under manager Herbert Chapman, who also led the club to the FA Cup in 1922. In the late 1950s the club was managed by Bill Shankly and featured Denis Law and Ray Wilson. Following relegation from the First Division in 1972, Huddersfield spent 45 years in the second, third and fourth tiers of English football, before returning to the top flight in 2017 under manager David Wagner.
Nicknamed The Terriers, the club plays in blue and white vertically-striped shirts and white shorts. They play their home games at the Kirklees Stadium.
