The former Wolves target man, who has found the net six times this season while providing the perfect foil for Michael Chopra, was clearly missed as the Bluebirds were sunk 1-0 at Barnsley.[LNB]Bothroyd trained ahead of the Oakwell clash but was only deemed to be "around 80% fit" by manager Dave Jones as he tries to shrug off tendonitis behind a knee.[LNB]But Cardiff have received a huge boost with the news he will be fully-fit to face the Tractor Boys, while Kevin McNaughton has also revealed he hopes to have recovered from a hamstring strain which forced him off in the early stages on Saturday.[LNB]Jones will also assess the fitness of on-loan winger Kelvin Etuhu ahead of the game after he returned to training with the Welsh club on Monday following treatment on his ankle ligament injury back at Manchester City.[LNB][LNB]
