Asaba: injury setback
Carl Asaba has been ruled out of tomorrow's Championship clash against Cardiff City after suffering a relapse to a long-standing back injury during a training session at the weekend.

Asaba, who had been hopinng to make a return to action against The Bluebirds, had to withdraw from the session after he began to feel discomfort and shooting pains in his back.

Speaking to the club's official site, assistant manager Tony Burns confirmed the news: "It's a blow to Carl and for us. It looks like his comeback will take a little longer than hoped."
