Cardiff City's Ben Turner: 'We're under pressure to stay in Premier League'

Cardiff City defender Ben Turner has admitted that everyone at the club is "under pressure" to retain their status in the Premier League.

The Welsh outfit currently reside third from bottom in the table with nine games left to play this season.

The Bluebirds are only placed in the relegation zone on goal difference alone following their 3-1 victory over Fulham on Saturday.

"We are under pressure, mainly under pressure from ourselves and from within," BBC Sport quotes Turner as saying. "Everyone at the club wants to be a Premier League footballer and to do that we have to perform as a team on the pitch to get the points.

"From speaking to the lads and the way I feel myself, that's the biggest pressure I feel we're under. We know that we can actually do it, we know that there's a good enough foundation within the team and the squad to get the points that we need."

Cardiff's next game is away to Everton this Saturday.
