Cardiff City | Bulut updates fans on banished duo and five rivals eye £11m ex-Bluebird

Cardiff City boss Erol Bulut has confirmed that Callum Robinso and Mahlon Romeo will soon return to the squad after being sidelined due to disciplinary issues at Birmingham City.

During their recent match against Millwall, both players were absent from the squad, with Bulut providing explanations for their absence. Romeo was omitted due to past issues with his former club, while Robinson had disciplinary matters to address.

Bulut stated post-match, “Mahlon is not here because of the past, the club he had problems, that’s why we didn’t take him with us. But he will be, when he’s fit, the next game, with the squad. With Robbo, we had a talk, so he knows what mistake he did, he accepted it, so when everything is OK he can also be back with the team.”

Cardiff is gearing up to face Southampton this weekend, with both Robinson and Romeo expected to be available for selection.

In other news, Cardiff loanee Isaak Davies continued his impressive form despite KV Kortrijk’s defeat to Charleroi. Davies scored his third goal in as many games, taking his tally to 10 for the season in Belgium’s top flight. Despite the loss, Davies emphasized the importance of regrouping and preparing for the upcoming crucial match against RWDM.

Meanwhile, former Cardiff winger Josh Murphy has attracted interest from several Championship clubs while excelling at Oxford United.

With six goals in his last 12 matches, Murphy’s performances have garnered attention from Southampton, West Brom, QPR, Sunderland, Hull City, and MLS side Minnesota United. Out of contract at the end of the season, Murphy’s resurgence has put him in the spotlight for potential suitors.
