Cardiff City have suffered another major injury blow with Riccy Scimeca ruled out for a month with a hamstring injury.
The influential midfielder will be a big loss to the Bluebirds, who last week lost skipper Darren Purse for six weeks with a back injury.
Scimeca will now miss Friday's match against Barnsley plus clashes against Coventry City, Leeds, West Brom and Preston.
'I had a scan yesterday and I have a grade one tear, which will keep me out for around four weeks,' said Scimeca.
'I was expecting to shake it off but came off during Saturday's game against Leicester because it was not easing.
'Normally those type of things tend to ease over 24 hours but this was still hurting on Sunday. It was best to have a scan.
'It's a major disappointment to me as the whole team started to believe in themselves again and although we are not playing fantastic football at present we were winning.
'We're steadily progressing and working ourselves back into a wining habit, which has been missing recently.'
