Cardiff City: Barry-Murphy says illness has swept through squad

“We’ve done a lot of travelling in the past seven days and when you’re so close to each other on on the coach for so long, I think it’s pretty normal that it spreads pretty quickly.

“We’re trying to minimise that cause of more people getting infected, but will train for the next couple of days and see how we’re fixed to pick a team.

“Nathan Trott hasn’t trained yet. David Turnbull has a groin issue… on what has become, very quickly, quite a long list of doubts for the game on Friday.

“Will Fish was ill at the game on Saturday [against Lincoln], the same for Joel Bagan, so those guys are almost three days ahead of Calum Chambers and we haven’t seen them train yet, so hopefully they can make an appearance today [23 December] or on Christmas Day of some sort and we’ll see if they can be available.

“We have enough players to cope no matter what so we’ll be fine.”

Barry-Murphy is at least feeling more positive on the recovery of Colwill, who damaged ankle ligaments in November and fellow midfielder Eli King who is recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury:

“I’ve just been in the gym with Rubin and Eli,” added Barry-Murphy.

“Both are making exceptionally good progress and it’s really good to see Ruben’s ankle is looking really good and although he’s in the very early stages of recovery, the early stages are very promising and I’m very pleased with that one actually.”
