03 March 2021

Cardiff’s worst fears have been confirmed after scans revealed defender Joe Bennett sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury during Tuesday’s win against Derby.

The left-back, 30, fell to the ground as he looked to turn in the middle of the pitch just after the half-hour mark of the 4-0 victory.

Bennett left the field on a stretcher after a six-minute stoppage and scans on Wednesday confirmed the seriousness of the injury to his right knee.

A tweet from Cardiff announcing the news added: “He will now be referred to a specialist. We’re all with you, Joe!”
