Cardiff City interim boss Omer Riza says the club currently have too many players who are unable to complete 90 minutes.
Defender Will Fish and midfielder Callum O’Dowda both went off injured in Saturday’s 4-1 win at Hull City, midfielder Manolis Siopis was injured in training and Cardiff also have several long-term absentees including Wales captain Aaron Ramsey.
Riza admits the mounting queue for the physios room is compounding the problems at the club.
“We’ve got a good group of players, all honest and hard working but the issue we have at the moment is not being able to get all of the players through the game,” he told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
“We’ve had to make substitutions early, Will Fish with his hamstring, we’ve got other injuries, we’ve got other players coming back from injury who can’t get through 90 minutes, we’ve got players who at times have had injuries through their careers who we have to manage and look after.
“Will had a slight strain before the game we needed to manage and he felt a little tweak there, we will have to assess it.
“Callum O’Dowda has put in a big shift and we have to manage him as well.”
Riza is hopeful Siopis will return for Tuesday’s clash with Millwall, alongside Dimitrios Goutas who missed the Hull defeat due to a family issue that saw him return to Greece.
