Cardiff wait on injuries as Robertson pulls out of Brazil game

[Huw Evans Picture Agency] Alex Robertson will remain at Cardiff City over the international break after withdrawing from Australia's squad to face Brazil. Robertson, 23, pulled out for medical reasons after being called up for the Socceroos for the first time since missing out on selection for the summer's World Cup. No details have been given on the injury, but the midfielder is set to stay in south Wales during a key period that Cardiff boss Brian Barry-Murphy hopes will be "very beneficial" for the Bluebirds as they aim to edge key men closer to fitness. That includes Dylan Lawlor, the Wales centre-back not involved in Wales' Nations League games having returned for his first minutes of the season as a late substitute in the 3-1 win over Charlton Athletic . Fellow centre-back Will Fish will also return to training, but Barry-Murphy warned there is no planned return date as yet for Callum Chambers, who is yet to kick a ball this season. "This break will be very beneficial for us, we'll train a lot and improve a lot, particularly with a focus Dylan and Will Fish," said Barry-Murphy, who added he hoped Fish would be in contention to return when Cardiff take on Blackburn Rovers on 10 October. "He did his first day last week, it's not full training, but he's making good progress but if we can use this break as we hope he should be in a much better place come the next game. "Callum Chambers is not straightforward because he's looking longer term. It's not as imminent; he's happy his neck and back are in a good place, but he still has some issue with his knee with swelling and he's not been able to get rid of that." Issak Davies and Rubin Colwill will also remain at the club's Vale of Glamorgan training base having missed out on the chance of Wales selection because of injury. Five senior players will be on international duty, including Joel Colwill and Cian Ashford with Wales – the latter hoping to win his first cap after being drafted into Craig Bellamy's squad for Nations League games against Portugal, Denmark and Norway. Joel Bagan is also hoping for a debut after being named in the Republic of Ireland squad for fixtures against Israel, Kosovo and Austria alongside midfielder Jack Moylan. Summer signing Moylan made his Irieland bow in May after his impressive season with Lincoln, the Dubliner scoring a hat-trick in the 5-0 win over Grenada while Bagan had to withdraw from his first call-up trough injury. Meanwhile full-back Ronan Kpakio is expected to feature for Matty Jones' Wales Under-21s, who take on Belgium and Austria, with five other young Bluebirds in the squad including the 15-year-old Noah Anyadike.
