Gabon’s Bruno Ecuele Manga and Cote d’Ivoire’s Sol Bamba have been relegated from the English Premier League with Cardiff City.
Bamba, still on the treatment table with a knee ligament injury, was not in action at Cardiff Stadium but Ecuele Manga’s defensive contribution was not enough to save Neil Warnock’s men from a 3-2 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Martin Kelly's own goal and Bobby Reid's effort could not cancel out goals from Wilfried Zaha, Michy Batshuayi and Andros Townsend in front of home fans.
The loss left Cardiff City 18th in the Premier League table with 31 points from 37 matches, five points adrift of safety with a game to go.
