Cardiff City’s Striker Rickie Lambert has seen the specialist this week and Lambert will need on going treatment,but will be able to play now and again, but it seems his back problem could go on in to this summer where he will be able to have a rest and continue his treatment.

Neil Warnock is hoping that Lambert will at least be able to be the back up striker to Zohore and hopefully coming off the bench,if needed,as City have very few other options.

Warnock received bad news early this week with confirmation that Rhys Healey will be out injured for at least nine months.

If Warnock stays on at Cardiff City his first target will be a new striker,Warnock wanted a striker in the January transfer window, but was unable to,due to lack of funds.
Contrary to stories that have gone around, Rickie Lambert has a two year contract with Cardiff City, costing Cardiff City around £2 million plus, its believed WBA paid part of his last contract off to Lambert.

Lambert said “As you get older injuries take their toll. Not just fresh injuries, but ones you’ve carried through your career too and carried on playing with.”

“I’m 35 years old very soon, and I’m still bearing the scars from my own career. My right foot, neck, hip. The war wounds haven’t gone away more than a decade on.”

‘When you are injured it frustrates you. The older you are, the more the recovery time seems to be. Then you get another niggle and you’re almost back to square one. It can be terribly irritating.”

 

 
In 2015 Rickie Lambert cost WBA £3 million and made 20 league appearances, though 15 came from the bench, and he only found the back of the net once.

 

 
Rickie Lambert was signed by Cardiff City in the Summer 2016.
