Steve Brooker and David Noble are expected to be included in Bristol City's squad for the Championship trip to Cardiff on Saturday.Brooker was recalled from his loan spell at Cheltenham this week after a rich vein of form that saw him score five goals in in last six matches for the League One side.

The striker has yet to make an appearance for second-placed City this season after undergoing two knee operations.

Noble has resumed training after recovering from the ankle injury that ruled him out of last weekend's 2-1 home defeat to Plymouth Argyle.

Fellow midfielder Lee Johnson and defender Jamie McCombe are still receiving treatment for their respective heel and hip problems.

Manager Gary Johnson will give the pair as long as possible to recover before naming his squad for the Ninian Park clash.
