Cardiff City’s projected XI to face Wrexham amid injuries and slow recruitment | OneFootball

Cardiff City host Wrexham on Monday night to open their Championship return. According to Wales Online, Jack Moylan is the only outfield arrival and Calum Scanlon must be registered by midday Sunday to feature.

Nathan Trott is the number one after an excellent loan and a permanent switch.

Perry Ng should reclaim right-back after Ronan Kpakio’s Carabao Cup start at Swindon. Gabriel Osho has impressed in pre-season, while Will Fish is out for around three months after hernia surgery and Dylan Lawlor has not featured. Club captain Chambers missed Swindon with a knee issue and has a chance for Monday, so if fit he is expected to start alongside Osho.

Joel Bagan is set to start at left-back, even if Scanlon signs in time, with the newcomer offering competition thereafter.

Robertson has emerged as the clear number six, with Eli King the alternative, and Cardiff still need a more physical midfielder before the window closes. David Turnbull and Joel Colwill are contesting the number eight, and Colwill’s energy could sway it.

At 10, Cian Ashford has shone, with Rubin Colwill still regaining fitness. Tanner should start on the right and Salech leads the line, with Callum Robinson in reserve. With Kion Etete and Roko Simic expected to leave in the coming weeks, another striker is increasingly required.

Willock is likely to edge Isaak Davies on the left, with Davies an impact option. Probable XI: Trott, Ng, Osho, Chambers, Bagan, Robertson, Joel Colwill, Ashford, Tanner, Salech, Willock.
