Neil Warnock has suffered yet another blow to his squad ahead of a crucial double-header with Chelsea and Manchester City, as versatile forward Callum Paterson has joined Sol Bamba and Matt Connolly on the sidelines.
Paterson started for Scotland at San Marino during the international break, but was forced off in the first half to much concern, especially after reports had circulated that Cardiff had instructed the SFA not to use him on synthetic turf due to injury issues.
While Warnock was quick to dispel that rumour, he did confirm when talking to WalesOnline
ahead of the Chelsea match that the 24-year-old would be out for the season, and that it comes as a serious blow for his side.
