Craig Bellamy will start Cardiff City's match against Leeds United on the bench as Malky Mackay has named an unchanged starting XI.
Mackay has decided to stick with the same starting lineup that defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers before the international break.
That means that Nicky Maynard will partner Heidar Helguson in attack, with Matt Connolly keeping his place in central defence.
