# Wilson suffers injury blow on loan at Cardiff

Harry Wilson has picked up a groin injury on loan at Cardiff City, manager Neil Harris has confirmed.

The 23-year-old joined the Bluebirds on a temporary basis earlier this month, having seen his first-team chances at Liverpool become limited.

Wilson [started](https://www.lfchistory.net/Players/Player/GamesPerSeason/1314-130) in the Reds’ Carabao Cup defeat at home to Arsenal, before heading off to Cardiff.

He [netted](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/333044/Show/Harry-Wilson) in just his second appearance, against Bournemouth, before suffering this injury setback.

Speaking to *[WalesOnline](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cardiff-city-boss-neil-harris-19184628)*, Harris said he is hopeful that Wilson’s absence won’t be too lengthy:

> Right at the end of training yesterday \[Tuesday\], just a hip flexor, his left groin area, tightened up.

> We are hopeful that there is no long term in it, we are hoping it’s a really short turnaround. I’m not sure if we’ll see him on the weekend, we will have to see when we are back in tomorrow and Friday.

> To lose him, he is a big blow because he started like a house on fire with us. So he’s not going to be long.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

This is a blow for Wilson, who had started life at Cardiff so promisingly in his first few weeks there.

Now 23, the Wales international needs to settle and play regularly for a club – potentially Cardiff – hopefully sealing a permanent move there eventually.

It is hard to see a future for him at Liverpool, considering the wealth of attacking talent ahead of him.

If Jurgen Klopp truly rated him enough to be a part of his plans, he would already be featuring prominently, given his age.

It may be that Wilson ends up justifying playing for a Premier League club in the long-term – he did well at Bournemouth last season, [scoring seven times](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/333044/History/Harry-Wilson) in the top flight – but the Championship looks his best bet for the time being.
