John Robinson could miss up to 3 matches after picking up a hamstring injury against Millwall. The absence of the veteran means there are major problems in the midfield department, with Lee Bullock likely to start against Palace on Saturday, and a possibility of youngster Nicky Fish being involved.

| Cardiff City midfielder John Robinson
could miss up to 3 matches after going off injured with hamstring troubles
during the opening stages of the 0-0 stalemate against Millwall at the Den
on Wednesday. The hard-working veteran is certain to be out of action for the visit of Crystal Palace to Ninian Park on Saturday, and will also miss the trip to the JJB Stadium the following Tuesday, where the Bluebirds will face promotion hopefuls Wigan Athletic. The former Charlton Athletic midfielder is also a doubt for Burnley's visit to South Wales on April 17th. The injury to the influential right-footer means Lennie Lawrence will be really stretched in the midfield department. Graham Kavanagh looks likely o be out until the end of the season, and Willie Boland is also struggling with injuries. Lee Bullock, on-loan from York City, replaced Robinson against Millwall last night and is likely to start against Crystal Palace. This means City are likely to line-up with Langley, Whalley, Bullock and Parry across the middle on the weekend, with the possibility of youngster Nicky Fish being named on the bench. |
