Cardiff City faces a potential player exit as Riza hints at Kanga’s departure while dealing with fresh injury concerns ahead of January.
Cardiff: So, it looks like things are a bit rocky for Cardiff City right now. Omer Riza has dropped a hint that Wilfried Kanga might be leaving in January. He hasn’t been in the squad lately, and it seems like his time at the club isn’t going as planned.
Kanga, who’s on loan from Hertha BSC, has been struggling with injuries. He missed the last match against Preston North End, and honestly, he hasn’t played much lately. Just 13 minutes in the last eight games! That’s rough.
Riza mentioned that Kanga has a knee issue and will be assessed soon. He said there’s a chance Kanga could be up for selection again, but with the January transfer window coming up, anything could happen. It’s not set in stone yet, but it sounds like Kanga’s future is uncertain.
On top of that, Cardiff is dealing with another injury blow. Ollie Tanner might be out for a few weeks with a knee injury. He’s been a key player this season, so losing him is a big deal. Riza said they had a scan, and it doesn’t look great.
But there’s a silver lining! Anwar El Ghazi returned from injury and added some energy to the team. So, fingers crossed for Tanner’s quick recovery.
And let’s not forget about Joel Bagan. He’s back from his loan in Belgium and feels like a new player. He’s been getting some game time and is eager to prove himself. Bagan appreciates the support from Riza and the coaching staff, which is great to hear.
All in all, it’s a mixed bag for Cardiff City right now. Let’s see how things unfold as they head into the busy January window!
