Jones frustrated with injury list

Dave Jones bemoaned Cardiff's crippling injury list as his side lost their unbeaten npower Championship record at Leicester. Jones had five key players out - including strikers Craig Bellamy, Jay Bothroyd and Michael Chopra - in the 2-1 defeat against the Foxes and could be short of numbers again at Ipswich on Saturday. Lee Naylor put the Bluebirds in front but Andy King's double gave Leicester a victory Jones admitted they deserved. He said: "We got ourselves into a winning position and the frustrating thing is we had spoken about the boy King breaking into the box. Maybe it was a bit of fatigue but we got caught out. They were the better team in the second half so I can't complain. "We passed it well in the first half but we stopped doing that and maybe you can put that down to fitness from players who haven't had a pre-season. We were always worried about our fitness tonight and two games in three days was a step too far at the moment. "We don't know if they will be fit for Ipswich yet. We had five big players out and we were stretched. It's unusual but hopefully we can get one or two back and go again. If I had those three available it makes a big difference and we couldn't change the game when we went behind."
