Camp and Richards set to take their bows

LEE Camp and Jazz Richards could make their first pre-season appearances for Cardiff City against Plymouth Argyle tonight (7pm).

Both have been struggling with niggling injuries, delaying their return to action this summer.

But after the Bluebirds’ Under-23s side took on St. Austell last night, Neil Warnock is keen to blood more first team players in Cardiff’s biggest test of the current tour to Devon and Cornwall – a clash with League One Argyle.

Anthony Pilkington could also return after picking up a knock in the Bluebirds’ pre-season opener, while new signing Lee Tomlin is expected to feature again.

And left-back Joe Bennett admitted the “different” environment of the South West tour was proving a big hit with the players.

Speaking after the 3-1 defeat of Bodmin Town on Wednesday, he said: “I think the whole point of pre-season games, as everyone knows, is just to get fitness back and it’s good to see how the new lads are playing as well.

“To come away to Cornwall is a little bit different but everyone’s enjoying it and the weather’s been good.

“We’ve been training everyday, even on matchdays.

“It’s good getting to know the new players and the whole team look like they’re gelling really well.

“We can look forward to Friday now. It’ll be a little bit harder (against Plymouth) but I’m sure we’ll do well and it’s a good fitness-builder.

“Hopefully we can get another win on the board.”
