Cardiff boss Brian Barry-Murphy said striker Yousef Salech is in hospital following his side’s 1-1 draw with Stockport in League One.

The game at the Cardiff City Stadium was overshadowed by a delay of around 12 minutes following an injury to the Bluebirds’ top scorer, who was taken off on a stretcher wearing a neck brace after a collision with County centre-back Brad Hills.
