Ben Turner to return for tonight's game

Tue Feb 19, 2013 6:39 am

Defender Ben Turner will return to Cardiff City team to face Brighton on Tuesday night.

The giant centre back has missed the last two games against Huddersfield Town and Bristol City but will return in place of Ben Nugent, who replaced him on Saturday but picked up a dead leg in the Severnside derby.

Manager Malky Mackay today confirmed he has no other injury worries for the visit of the Seagulls to the Cardiff City Stadium.

But Mackay warned of the danger of Gus Poyet’s play-off chasers, saying: “They are a top team.

“We've played a few of those kind of sides recently.

“Over the last couple of years they are another team who have been there or thereabouts.

“There's a good nucleus of players there that the manager has brought together.”

With his team 11 points clear of third placed Watford with a game in hand, Mackay is still refusing ot get carried away.

He said today: “It really pleasing to be in this situation. But we know there's a lot of games to go and a lot of points to play for.

“But we are delighted that we have that gap at the top."

Ben Turner looks set for a return to the Cardiff line-up after missing the last two games with an ankle problem.

Ben Nugent, who picked up a dead leg in Saturday's win over Bristol City, looks likely to step aside.

Brighton could have skipper Gordon Greer back after missing three matches with a hamstring injury.

Ashley Barnes is suspended and fellow striker Will Hoskins is out with a knee injury suffered against Blackburn but the Bluebirds have no other worries.
