Daland poised to return for Bristol City test

Jesper Daland is set to be available for Cardiff City's trip to Bristol City on Sunday (15:00 BST).

The Norwegian centre-back has missed the Bluebirds' past four games due to an ankle injury sustained during his side's 2-0 defeat by Middlesbrough in September.

But interim boss Omer Riza has confirmed the defender is in contention to feature for the visitors at Ashton Gate this weekend.

"Jasper will probably be back in contention. He's been training," Riza told BBC Sport Wales.

Cardiff will assess several players prior to the contest with the Robins, including Ollie Tanner who received a knock during the Bluebirds' 1-0 triumph over Millwall.

"Ollie got caught in a tackle," added Riza.

"Credit to him, he carried on and got through it, so we'll see how Ollie fares in the week.

"We're going to have a lot of tired legs, Rallsy's [Joe Ralls] played 90 [minutes], Alex [Robertson] has played another 90, Chambo's [Calum Chambers] played another 90.

"A lot of the boys played 90 tonight [Tuesday] who played on Saturday so we'll reassess everything when we come back in.

"We've got a few more days now until Bristol City on Sunday, luckily we've got the extra day and we'll start again."
