Cardiff City injury crisis takes twist as star out for four weeks in fresh blow

Isaak Davies sidelined for four weeks with hamstring injury; Perry Ng, Will Fish and Alex Robertson also doubts for West Ham clash.

Cardiff City's injury crisis has deepened with manager Brian Barry-Murphy confirming Isaak Davies will miss around four weeks after suffering a hamstring injury last Monday. The 25-year-old forward was absent from Saturday's 3-0 defeat at Wolves, with the injury now officially revealed ahead of Wednesday's Championship match against West Ham United.

Davies joins a growing casualty list at Cardiff. Defender Perry Ng, centre-back Will Fish and midfielder Alex Robertson all failed to train on Monday following the Wolves game and are doubts for the Hammers visit. Dylan Lawlor remains out with a hamstring injury and Calum Chambers is unavailable with a knee problem, both expected to miss matches until after the November international break. Gabriel Osho has one suspension match remaining.

There was some positive news: Krystian Bielik is close to returning and could feature against West Ham, while Rubin Colwill came through his substitute appearance at Molineux without problems. Callum Robinson's absence is unrelated to injury, with Barry-Murphy indicating the forward has not adhered to club standards.
