Mark Hudson admits the transfer embargo under which Cardiff City have been placed could decide whether they are able to recall Mark McGuinness from his loan at Sheffield Wednesday.
WalesOnline understands the Bluebirds want to bring the defender back to Cardiff and have tried to set the wheels in motion for his return this month.
Cardiff hoped McGuinness' final game for the Owls would be the FA Cup third round clash with Newcastle United on Saturday night, a game the Yorkshire club won and the centre-back earned rave reviews. Indeed, ex-Arsenal and England centre-back Martin Keown waxed lyrical about the 22-year-old's display against the high-flying Magpies while on commentary duty.
