Bluebird pulls out of international camp

Callum O'Dowda has pulled out of the Republic of Ireland's squad for the upcoming international break

O'Dowda has struggled with injuries over the last year, missing the vast majority of last season and was omitted from Cardiff's win over Millwall due to an issue, too.


Cardiff have been careful with the player's load and used him only off the bench in the second half in the 1-1 draw with his old club Bristol City on Sunday. Despite not looking like he had suffered any obvious injury, O'Dowda will have the next fortnight to rest and recuperate.

Whether there is a fresh injury concern after the Robins game or if it is simply to allow the player time to rest following a year of injury strife is yet to be confirmed

What is with our club and sick note players? The last 10 years has been so bad

A lot of our business has been free transfers, there's a reason why clubs let people go.

Either they are injury prone, have a shite attitude or just aren't good enough.

Bristol City let Callum O'Dowda go as he was becoming injury prone.

We had a great season out of him, since then he has been injury prone.

That’s why many are free.

I think it started with Robbie Fowler and just got worse from there
