Cardiff City boss Sabri Lamouchi says he has no concerns over Sory Kaba's confidence following the striker's latest penalty miss.
Kaba missed his second penalty in a week during the 2-1 win over Rotherham United on Thursday night, rattling the crossbar on the stroke of half-time.
It's the fifth penalty Cardiff have missed this season, and there will likely be real questions over who will take over spot-kick duties should they receive another over the next two games.
Asked who would potentially step up against Huddersfield on Sunday, the Cardiff boss joked: "Not Kaba, at all!" before adding: "He's doing very well. He's happy here. He came to me to discuss yesterday night about how he feels about the club, the players, the fans, the squad, the atmosphere here. It's unbelievable for him.
"He's been magic for us and had a big impact. So thank you to Kaba for everything."
Asked specifically on whether there might be a reason behind the recent penalty woes, he continued: "He's thinking too much about it. When you think too much about it, you need to be very, very confident and he wasn't in this case.
"But Kaba is a competitor. It was perhaps not the best performance, but it wasn't a bad one.
"I'm not worried at all with Kaba.”

Exactly. Without his goals we would be looking down the barrel of league 1. Even David Beckam & Harry Kane have missed penalties I believe. Some may say at even more important games.
