Cardiff City star in talks to leave club as Barry-Murphy 'confident' on signings
Jesper Daland is in talks to leave Cardiff City, head coach Brian Barry-Murphy has confirmed. The Norwegian defender joined from Cercle Brugge last year and endured a mixed first campaign in south Wales. However, he has now been left out of the last two City squads - including the 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Swindon Town on Tuesday evening - prompting supporters to question whether he is on the verge of leaving. And Barry-Murphy has confirmed that Daland is holding conversations with other clubs over a potential exit, however the Irishman said he was unsure as to whether any departure would be permanent or a loan.

I don't think it's right for me to say. "Nathan (Trott) played, Matt Turner was on the bench. Ethan and Jack trained yesterday. And Jesper trained brilliantly yesterday. "They're here and they're very much our players. So I think it's disrespectful of me to speak about them in any other sense apart from saying I don't know." Cardiff have signed only one player so far this summer, goalkeeper Trott. With Daland in discussions to leave the club, a centre-back will likely be high on the agenda. When asked about incomings, the head coach said: "We want to be a very dynamic team who excites the supporters, so the players that we bring into the club will possess those qualities to bring the game that we want to show to life. "Even in Nathan Trott, he's a very dynamic keeper who will improve a lot as we progress. And those traits will be evident in every player where we managed to be in to the club." Barry-Murphy was coy on a timeline, however he insisted signings would be made before the September 1 deadline. "I'm confident," he said. "I think it's wrong of me to say imminent or days because I just don't know. And my experience in this month of the window says the closer I think we are to one, the further away we are! "And I think it's unfair to supporters. We'll definitely bring players in before they're in the window, but I don't know when."

Asked if a deal was close to being completed, he said: "I don't know. I don't know how close."

Cardiff assess Daland fitness ahead of Portmouth trip
Cardiff City could be without defender Jesper Daland for Tuesday's visit to Championship relegation rivals Norwegian suffered a leg injury shortly after making a substitute appearance during Saturday's FA Cup win at Stoke City - an incident which also saw the player give away a penalty after he collided with forward Emre 25-year-old had to be replaced and was helped off the pitch by medical staff."Jesper says he kicked the ball and hasn't kicked the man, who has caught his leg. It was quite a nasty one," said Cardiff manager Omer Riza."It can happen, the downside to the cup game with injuries, but we've got a squad and the boys have got to get on with it".The Bluebirds face a quick turnaround after extra time and penalties at Stoke but Riza is confident his team can cope."We'll recover properly," he said. "I think the togetherness is more important, coming through that (against Stoke), all the subs that were made and all the players that started."That togetherness to see us through to the end of the season - that could be a big turning point for us. We're already doing well but that togetherness is really important."Portsmouth lost to Sheffield United (in the Championship) so we've got one game in hand over them."We want to win every game, we'll go there with no other intention than to win. It's going to be a real tough battle, we know that, they've been really good at home but we know what we've got to do".
