“We, as a Club, will defend Aron's name and reputation to the hilt,” Ole said. “I have complete faith in Aron as a player and as a man, as does the rest of the squad and staff. He will be involved in my squad for tomorrow's game at home to Stoke City and remains integral to what we are trying to achieve.

“Unfounded speculation regarding Aron's loyalty or commitment ends here, with focus returning to the important matters in hand on the field.”

David Marshall also spoke to the assembled media at Cardiff City Stadium on Friday morning, the respected ‘keeper adding his weight behind the support for his teammate, saying, “Aron would never do anything to hurt this Football Club or squad – it's not the way he is and I know him well.

“He's one of the most honest and hard-working people I've ever met in football and the whole dressing room backs and trusts him 100%.

“I'd put my life on Aron's integrity. We've rallied around him and the situation has brought the dressing room even closer. It makes us even more determined to succeed.”

The club today continues to prepare for Saturday’s fixture, asking all supporters to play a big part by backing the whole squad as they work towards the goal of Premier League survival.
