HITC Sport understands Cardiff striker Kenneth Zohore should return to fitness after the international break.

Kenneth Zohore is set to hand Cardiff City a boost by returning to fitness after the international break, HITC Sport understands.

Danish forward Zohore has missed the last two games against Leicester and Brighton & Hove Albion with a calf problem.

However, Zohore is now making good progress with his recovery and is hopeful of being available again for next week’s trip to Everton.

News of Zohore’s return will come as a boost to Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock as they look to build on their second win of the season against Brighton and climb out of the bottom three of the Premier League.

Cardiff have struggled for goals so far this season with Callum Paterson being used as a makeshift striker in recent weeks and he is the club’s top scorer with three goals.

Zohore, who played such a key role in Cardiff’s promotion from the Championship, has started only three Premier League games so far this term and is yet to find the net.

Warnock will be hoping Zohore, who was first choice striker last season, can quickly find his best form again and save him from going into the transfer market in January to bring in a new forward to bolster his attacking options.
