Cardiff boss Dave Jones will hand a late fitness test to Joe Ledley ahead of Saturday's Championship clash with Southampton at Ninian Park.Ledley pulled out of Wales' friendly with Luxembourg with a hamstring injury - the same problem which kept him sidelined for a month only recently.

The winger is expected to be okay to face Saints but with the FA Cup semi-final against Barnsley just a week away, Jones is likely to adopt a cautious approach with one of his prized assets.

Striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink serves the second match of a three-game ban for his recent red card and defender Kevin McNaughton could again miss out with a hamstring problem.

Warren Feeney, Trevor Sinclair and Aaron Ramsey will all hope to make the starting line-up after being named as substitutes in last week's win over Bristol City.

Jones revealed this week that Robbie Fowler is "progressing well" with his hip problem, however a return date for the striker is yet to be established.
