Bluebirds wait on trio

Cardiff boss Dave Jones will assess the fitness of three players ahead of the home clash with Nottingham Forest. Chris Burke, Lee Naylor and Darcy Blake were forced off during last weekend's 4-2 win at Scunthorpe because of muscle injuries. They will be assessed but striker Jay Bothroyd will be back in Cardiff colours after making his England debut as a second-half substitute appearance in Wednesday's 2-1 friendly defeat to France at Wembley. Jason Koumas, who has struggled so far to reach the heights achieved during his first spell at the club, could earn a starting role if Burke fails to recover in time. Koumas said: "The manager knows what he is doing with me and I am comfortable with the way things are going."
