Will Alves injury update after Leicester City loanee misses crucial Cardiff victory
The teenage attacking midfielder, having started the Bluebirds' previous two matches, was absent on Tuesday night as they gave their survival hopes a boost by beating Hull

Cardiff City are keeping their fingers crossed for Will Alves after the Leicester City loanee was sidelined by a knee injury.

The teenage attacking midfielder was absent for the Bluebirds’ 1-0 victory over Hull on Tuesday, a crucial win in the battle to avoid Championship victory.

Alves started the previous two matches, and registered his first assist in the 1-1 draw with Plymouth at the weekend, so it was a surprise he was not included in the squad against Hull.

 

And Cardiff manager Omer Riza confirmed after Tuesday night’s fixture that he had suffered a knee injury, the extent of which is so far undetermined.

“Will Alves took a whack on his knee against Plymouth and it swelled up,” Riza said. “We’re managing that and hopefully that’s not too serious.”

Any kind of knee injury for the 19-year-old will be a concern given the ACL surgery he underwent just over two years ago.

That injury slowed Alves’s progress and the loan to Cardiff is his first true spell in a senior side.

City are hoping he can hone his game and be in contention for first-team minutes at the King Power Stadium next term.

As things stand, City will be dropping down to the Championship, the division Cardiff are increasingly hopeful of staying in.

The victory over Hull was their first win in five league matches and one that lifted them to 19th, six points clear of the drop.

The Bluebirds are next in action this Friday night, when they face Premier League side Aston Villa in the last 16 of the FA Cup at Villa Park.

Not too be negative but I feel his career could be one hampered by injury and a bit of a 'if only he could stay injury free' type player. 

 

Hopefully not though!

This kind of injury doesn’t worry me as much as if it was a muscle/ligament of injury of any kind

Assuming it was an impact whack to the knee then agreed. (Unless there is a small break somewhere which would be v unlucky for him and not relevant to him being injury prone) 

presumably if there is no scan planned then they aren’t overly concerned.

Hopefully just a knock that’s sore for a few days

It's just impact, he got whacked.

It's weird how people only had this opinion after him missing the squad last night lol

 

Didn't see people queuing up to claim he's going to spend the next 15 years crocked last week

Oh well, saves me the painful task of trying to convince the wife that watching Villa v Cardiff on a Friday night is a good idea!

Will Alves could return for Burnley clash

 

Will Alves could return for Cardiff City on Tuesday night in a big boost for the Bluebirds.

 

Alves, who is on loan from Leicester City, has made a real impact since joining the club, putting in some lively performances packed with skill and pace.

 

In his last match, against Plymouth Argyle, he provided his first assist in senior football, sweeping a low cross to Yousef Salech, who turned home an early opener in the 1-1 draw at Home Park.

 

The 19-year-old left the pitch hobbling that day, though, having taken a knock on his leg. He was subsequently ruled out against Hull City and was also not named in the squad last Friday for the Aston Villa FA Cup clash.

 

However, manager Omer Riza says he could return this week, with Burnley up next on Tuesday night.

 

"Ollie Tanner won't be ready, Dave Turnbull won't be ready," Riza said after the Villa match. "They are still a fair way off.

 

"Will Alves will potentially be back in the squad. We need to get back in train, train on Sunday and Monday and re-assess everything for the game on Tuesday."

Injury prone 

Getting your knee bent the wrong way as a 16 year old is hardly the same as just innate injury prone-ness

Maybe give it a bit more time before castigating another academy lad. ACL was assault and these were his first championship level games since recovering. We don’t know what he currently has and even if it’s related.
