Brown braced for Cardiff City bow

04 March 2011 14:00
Jason Brown is in line to make his Cardiff debut in the home clash with Ipswich having arrived on loan to help ease the club`s goalkeeper crisis.

The Blackburn shot-stopper has signed a one-month deal with the Bluebirds who have first-choice Tom Heaton (groin) struggling, back-up David Marshall (elbow) ruled out for the remainder of the season and youngster Jordan Santiago (finger) also ruled out.

Midfielder Aaron Ramsey has returned to Arsenal after Cardiff`s hopes of bringing him back to the club were dashed.

Jones had claimed Ramsey's return to fitness would be aided more by playing 90 minutes for the Bluebirds, but the highly-rated Wales international is in line to feature for Arsenal against Sunderland this weekend.

Seyi Olofinjana is also missing with a knee injury, while Jones will assess a number of other players nursing minor niggles.
