The club were beaten by Norwich City in the final game of the Championship campaign at Carrow Road.

The whole squad did not travel for the matchday as Yakou Meite, Dimitrios Goutas and Anwar El Ghazi were all missing, according to the BBC.

The trio were left out of the matchday squad ahead of their contracts expiring.

It is normal for players to take the day for themselves if they are not selected for a match.

It is also a regular occurrence that they still watch the match regardless if it is home or away.

However, Cardiff supporters have been left fuming after Meite was pictured watching his former side Reading instead,

The BBC have also claimed that injured striker Callum Robinson opted to watch Aston Villa over his contracted club.

It has not been suggested that the players have broken any rules by going to the other matches.

The match started awfully as Cardiff fell 3-0 down inside the first 23 minutes.

Callum Chambers was also sent off for the Welsh side in the 16th minute.

The travelling support were treated to a brace from Yousef Salech on either side of Shane Duffy grabbing Norwich’s fourth.

Interim manager Aaron Ramsay thanked the fans after the game.

He said: “They’ve been unbelievable and I think they’ve really bought into the boys over the last few weeks and the performances that they’ve produced. 

“I can’t thank them enough for that. It’s a lot of effort for them to come up here today and support us. We appreciate every single one of them doing that and making that journey. 

“Thank you again to them and they’re going to be a huge part of us bouncing back as a club.”
