​Cardiff winger Mendez-Laing faces extended sideline stint

Cardiff winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing faces a few months out of action after suffering a knee injury.

Mendez-Laing was injured during the Premier League game against Huddersfield at the weekend, which ended in a draw.

Now he must face three months on the sidelines with a posterior cruciate ligament injury.

"He has done his posterior cruciate ligament, which is good news, my physio says, because if he had done his anterior that's all season," his manager Neil Warnock said to Sky Sports.

"Whereas [with a posterior cruciate ligament injury] he will probably hopefully be back in December. It will be about three months."
