Cardiff Lose Key Midfielder to Long-Term Ankle Injury
Rubin Colwill is expected to miss ten to twelve weeks after damaging ankle ligaments during Cardiff’s win at Northampton.
The Wales international left the ground on crutches and now awaits confirmation on whether surgery is required. Manager Brian Barry-Murphy acknowledged that losing one of the division’s standout creative players is a major blow:
“Rubin’s timescale will be ten to twelve weeks. It is very disappointing for him and for his team mates.”
Colwill has excelled this season with goals, assists and leadership. His injury affects both Cardiff’s momentum and Northampton’s preparation for Mansfield this weekend.
