Doubt has raisin its ugly head regarding the fitness of Cardiff City goalkeeper Tom Heaton. News broke lunchtime yesterday on an unofficial website closely followed by a statement on the official Cardiff City website. >>>>> Official Statement
Heaton was welcomed back into the squad on Saturday after recovering from injury and play his part in the 4-1 win over Derby. It would seem that during the game he picked up a niggle which was a tad more serious than first through be a chance. A Bluebirds official told the South Wales Echo:
"Scans have shown the injury is not as bad as was first thought."Medical and coaching staff will monitor Tom's fitness in the coming days, but he remains in contention for Doncaster."
Cardiff boss Dave Jones will have to wait on the fitness test before making the final decision on his squad for the trip to Doncester. If he is not fit to travel Jones expected to turn to on-loan keeper Stephen Bywater who had sat out Saturday game against Derby league rules state loan players cannot play against their club. With his other keeper David Marshall out for the season he could turn to his other loan keeper Jason Brown. However, it's unlikely he has only limited time between the post since his move from Gillingham to Blackburn in 2006.
Manager Dave Jones was unhappy after the Derby game to see his team give away a late goal. With it so tight at the top of Championship so goal average could be all important. The Cardiff boss will be hoping for a win and a clean sheet.
