Ramsey needs to be 'managed accordingly'
Cardiff City manager Omar Riza says Aaron Ramsey's fitness will have to be "managed accordingly" after his latest return from injury. The Wales captain was not included in Cardiff's matchday squad for the 2-1 defeat against Portsmouth on Tuesday night. Ramsey, 34, played 63 minutes in the FA Cup win against Stoke City on Saturday, his first appearance since injuring his hamstring while playing for Wales last September. "He's been out for five months, he's had a lot of injuries," Riza said. "The plan for him is not to go game after game after game - he's not able to do it at present. "We have to manage him accordingly which I've said many times." Ramsey only made seven league starts and six substitute appearances for Cardiff last season in a campaign ruined by a knee problem. The former Arsenal and Juventus midfielder looked to have turned a corner this season as he started Cardiff's first four Championship matches, before he suffered a hamstring injury playing for Wales in their 2-1 win against Montenegro.
