Cardiff City manager Brian Barry-Murphy has stated that the club is monitoring the free-agent market. This comes as the team faces an injury crisis and a winless start to their Championship campaign, leaving Barry-Murphy short of options.
The club's lack of squad depth was highlighted when 15-year-old Noah Anyadike and 16-year-old Paul Moreno were included on the bench for the midweek match against Stoke City. Barry-Murphy confirmed both youngsters earned their places due to strong performances.
Key players such as Dylan Lawlor, Will Fish, Calum Chambers, and Isaak Davies are currently sidelined. Rubin Colwill is also in a race against time to be fit for Saturday's game against Bolton Wanderers due to ankle irritation.
Lawlor is making progress and could return for the home game against Charlton Athletic on 19 September, while Fish is expected to resume full training during the upcoming international break. However, a timescale for Chambers' return is unclear due to knee, neck, and back issues, and Davies is expected to be out for three weeks with a hamstring injury.
