Mahlon Romeo added to Cardiff injury list for trip to Wigan

Mark Harris will again take charge of Cardiff for Saturday’s trip to Wigan Athletic.

Harris, who was appointed interim Bluebirds’ boss following the axing of Steve Morrison, will be without Mahlon Romeo this weekend after the defender was forced off against Blackburn on Tuesday with an ankle injury.

Romeo is one of several players sidelined for Cardiff alongside Ebou Adams (pectoral), Isaak Davies (hamstring) and Kion Etete (ankle).

Rubin Colwill is also unavailable after a recent slip in training but is edging closer to a return later in October.

Callum Lang will again miss out for Wigan.

Lang sustained ankle ligament damage last month and continues to be assessed but will not return for this fixture.

Wigan will be playing for the third consecutive time against a club in search of a permanent boss after facing Rotherham and Hull during the past seven days.

Jordan Cousins (quad) and Gwion Edwards (Achilles) are the other absentees for boss Leam Richardson.
