Cardiff City handed major injury boost ahead of Sunderland clash with ex-Juventus man available

Cardiff City have been handed a major injury boost ahead of Sunday's clash against Sunderland on Sunday.

The two clubs are set to square off in the Championship at the Stadium of Light this weekend with some injury concerns coming into the match on both sides.

However, the Welsh club have been handed a major boost with former Arsenal and Juventus star Aaron Ramsey in contention to face Tony Mowbray's men.

“Aaron was rested because he had had a problem with his adductor muscle when he was away with the national team and he felt it again against Swansea,” said Cardiff manager Erol Bulut 

“I couldn’t risk him getting any more injuries, but he’ll be back for Sunderland on Sunday."

Josh Bowler and Callum O'Dowda and, though, could still miss the trip to the Stadium of Light. Cardiff have won two on the spin including a win against arch-rivals Swansea City last weekend.
