Cardiff's latest signing Emyr Huws could make his first start for the club in the Sky Bet Championship home game against Blackburn on Wednesday night.

Huws made his first appearance off the bench in Sunday's 2-0 home defeat to QPR after signing from Wigan for an undisclosed fee last week.

Boss Paul Trollope has no major new injury concerns but may make changes as he chases his first win in charge of the Bluebirds.

Highlights from Blackburn's 3-0 defeat at Wigan on Saturday

The full-back pulled his hamstring in the 3-0 loss to Wigan at the weekend, which was Blackburn's second defeat from two league games, and will not be back until September.

It is the second such issue boss Owen Coyle has had to face following the injury sustained by Elliott Bennett and he also remains without Northern Ireland international Corry Evans (groin).
