and live on Freeview channel 276
The Frenchman sits out this afternoon’s FA Cup Third Round tie with the Bluebirds having picked up a minor injury. Liam Cooper has also been left out with a similar issue, while Marc Roca and Jack Harrison take their places on the sidelines instead of the starting XI. Roca and Harrison were in line to start this afternoon, however after late fitness tests the pair have been restricted to a place on the substitutes’ bench.
New signing Max Wober is also named on the bench this afternoon, deemed fit enough to be involved after joining from Red Bull Salzburg earlier this month.
