It has been a busy and eventful week for Cardiff City, whose influence has been felt both at home and away. The news came first from Sheffield Wednesday, where Cardiff’s loanee Ethan Horvath was sent off late in the Owls’ 2-1 defeat to Charlton Athletic. Central to this has been young forward Omari Kellyman, who scored his first goal for the club in the 2-1 win over Reading. The 19-year-old, on loan from Chelsea, described the strike as a milestone after a challenging year that included a serious hamstring injury.
00:00Well, it's been a busy and eventful week for Cardiff City, whose influence had been felt both at home and away.
00:08The news came first from Sheffield Wednesday, where Cardiff's loanee Ethan Horvath was sent off late in the L's two-on-defeat to Charlton Athletic.
00:18The US goalkeeper's red card left Wednesday without a senior option for their midweek clash against Middlesbrough,
00:24prompting the EFL to grant permission for an emergency loan under Regulation 58.
00:30Horvath's suspension is another reminder of Cardiff's reach across the EFL this season,
00:35but back in South Wales, the focus remains on progress under Brian Barry Murphy.
00:40The Bluebirds continue to impress in League One, climbing the table with a mix of youth and attacking flair.

00:53in the 2-1 win over Reading.
00:56The 19-year-old on loan from Chelsea described the strike as a milestone
01:00after a challenging year that included a serious hamstring injury.
01:04I'm delighted, Kellyman said.
01:06Last year was tough, but moving here has helped me rebuild my confidence.
01:12Every game I play gives me more belief in my body and my ability to push on.
01:16The manager's style suits me.
01:19We like to dominate possession and I can feel I express myself and create chances.
01:26His first league goal marked a step in his development, adding much-needed spark to Cardiff's forward line.
01:32Meanwhile, academy graduate Joel Colwell was named Carabao Cup's Player of the Round,
01:38after starring in Cardiff's 2-1 win over Premier League side Burnley.
01:42Colwell opened the scoring at Turf Moor and helped the team control the game,
01:47highlighting the strength of Barry Murphy's youth integration.
01:52With optimism growing around the squad and key young players stepping up,
01:57Cardiff City look ready to continue their rise.
02:00The next test comes in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup,
02:03where they will face an all-Welsh clash against Wrexham,
02:07offering another chance to showcase the club's progress and ambition throughout the season.
