Cardiff City v Stoke City LIVE: Kick-off time, TV channel and team news

Cardiff are facing another difficult injury at the minute, with Barry-Murphy confirming Isaak Davies is unlikely to feature tonight.

Davies felt his hamstring during training on Friday and is expected to miss the visit of the Potters, further reducing Barry-Murphy’s attacking options.

“I imagine he won’t be available on Tuesday,” the Cardiff head coach said.

There is also no imminent boost expected elsewhere, with Barry-Murphy indicating the club’s other injured players are unlikely to return until around the international break.

Captain Calum Chambers remains unavailable, while Dylan Lawlor and Will Fish are also still sidelined.

“The rest of the guys are back around the international break, I think, so I don’t imagine anything will change between now and Tuesday,” Barry-Murphy said.

Chambers’ situation is slightly more complicated, however, with the Cardiff boss unable to put a firm timescale on his return.

“Calum Chambers is in the same bracket as Dylan and Will Fish. He won’t be available for Tuesday, and his timescale is slightly more complicated because of his injury,” he added.

The situation leaves Cardiff particularly stretched with Stoke arriving just three days after the Portsmouth defeat and with only four players having been added to the squad during the summer transfer window.

Barry-Murphy was asked whether he feels his players have enough to cope with another game at such short notice.

“We have no choice,” he replied.

“The players who are here will have our full support to help them try to produce a performance to win.”
