Stephen McPhail has handed Cardiff a blow with the news he is facing six to eight weeks on the sidelines.

The talented midfielder suffered a torn thigh muscle in the first half of Sunday's 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest.

McPhail faces a lengthy spell out of action and his manager Dave Jones has now spoken of his disappointment at losing a key man.

"It's bad news about Stevie and he's a big loss because he'd won the fans over again.

"He was already doubtful for the match at Swansea on Sunday but a scan confirmed our worst fears."
