Cardiff City hope influential defender Sol Bamba will make Nottingham Forest's Sky Bet Championship visit on Saturday night, live on Sky Sports.
Bamba was forced off in the first half of last weekend's win at Norwich after tweaking his groin but has returned to training. On loan duo Jamie Ward and Armand Traore are ineligible to play against their parent club.
Joe Ralls and Jazz Richards are both nearing full fitness but may have to wait until Tuesday's trip to Derby to be involved.
Forest could include striker Daryl Murphy after a month out with a calf problem. But goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon is a doubt after missing a few days of training through what has been described as a "personal issue", and Greek youngster Stefanos Kapino is standing by to make his debut.
Joe Worrall (knee) and David Vaughan (ankle) are definitely out. Lee Tomlin, who joined Forest on loan from Cardiff in January, is unable to play against his parent club.
