Cardiff City manager Neil Harris is keen on having utility player Jordi Osei-Tutu make full recovery from his injury to serve as a squad boost for his team in the English Championship.

The English-born defender who is of Ghanaian descent last played for the club during their 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough back in October 2020.

As a result of an injury setback, he has been on the sidelines receiving treatment in the last three months.

This week, Cardiff City boss Neil Harris has confirmed that Jordi Osei-Tutu and some other key players who have been out injured have started training and close to being available for selection.

“We truly hope to have Kieffer Moore back for Norwich [on Saturday]. He will be on the training pitch this week, and Jordi Osei-Tutu will be there too.

“Hopefully Greg Cunningham will return, and Aden Flint will be back in training as well, albeit a probably few weeks away from first-team football,” the gaffer said as quoted on the club’s website.

On loan from Arsenal, Jordi Osei-Tutu is eager to return to the pitch to help Cardiff City and also continue his development as a young player.
