Isaak Davies Hamstring Injury Deepens Cardiff City Injury Crisis

Isaak Davies Hamstring Injury Deepens Cardiff City Injury Crisis
World Sports · 22:04:47 - Tuesday, 3 November 2026

Cardiff City's injury crisis has deepened with forward Isaak Davies ruled out for four weeks due to a hamstring issue. Head coach Brian Barry-Murphy confirmed the Wales international's absence after Saturday's 3-0 Championship defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Bluebirds were already without centre-backs Dylan Lawlor, Callum Chambers, Krystian Bielik and suspended defender Gabriel Osho. During the match at Molineux, midfielders Joel Colwill and winger Ollie Tanner were forced to play as emergency full-backs. Playmaker Rubin Colwill made a welcome return from the bench.

Barry-Murphy also revealed fresh fitness concerns over defenders Will Fish and Perry Ng, as well as midfielder Alex Robertson. The manager said Krystian Bielik has a chance to return for Wednesday's home game against West Ham United, who sacked manager Nuno Espirito Santo on Tuesday.

Forward Callum Robinson was left out of the matchday squad for a third consecutive game. Barry-Murphy confirmed the Republic of Ireland international was not suspended but declined to explain his continued omission.
