Steve Morison has confirmed that Kion Etete is set for spell on the sidelines after rolling his ankle during an under-21s clash with Sheffield United earlier this week.
Etete was a notable absentee on a day Cardiff struggled to break down a resolute Preston North End defence at Cardiff City Stadium, during a frustrating goalless draw which saw the hosts muster up 21 shots on goal without scoring.
Rumours had spread on social media and on message boards that Etete was set for a significant period on the treatment table on the back of the injury, but Morison has confirmed the former Tottenham man will only be out for "a couple of weeks".
