' Sabri Lamouchi hits out at 'absolutely crazy' schedule '
Meanwhile, Sabri Lamouchi says Cardiff City's intense schedule isn't helping the cause for the walking wounded within his squad.
After the controversial abandonment up at Rotherham earlier in the season, Cardiff have one extra game to play compared to most of their relegation rivals, and Lamouchi believes the bruising fixture list is beginning to take its toll.
SABRI LAMOUCHI:
"Tomorrow's the sixth game in three weeks. The end of the season is absolutely tough for all clubs with suspensions , injuries, players being tired. There are a lot of problems for managers and squads, but what can we do? We just have to try to make the right decision and be positive.
"You will not find a team playing more than Cardiff in this short time. It's absolutely crazy. We were in Watford two days ago, we play Stoke tomorrow, we travel to Rotherham on Thursday night. We play them at 8pm. Then we play Sunday at midday.
"Huddersfield will have been waiting for us in 12 days. Rotherham play at home and then play Monday, not Sunday.
"It is what it is. It's not a complaint from my side it's just a fact.
"This is not fair because we are at the end of the season and in a bad situation. We have a lot of injury problems and we must find a solution. We will find a solution. We will be available to play Stoke, Rotherham, Huddersfield and Burnley."
