The Cardiff City boss added he hopes Williams can stay fit for the rest of the campaign as they chase a spot in the Championship play-odds. Speaking to Wales Online, he said:
“Jonny Williams trained, Sheyi Ojo trained, so we’ve got those guys out again. They trained fully today, they’ll be OK [for Saturday].
“He was really looking forward himself to getting a Cardiff City shirt on. It’s just one of those things. He took a bang, nothing he can do about it. But he’s fine now, let’s hope he remains fit now for the rest of the season.”
