Cardiff City hope the international break will have served as a “reset” after a difficult run of form – and a chance to reignite their promotion bid, says captain Calum Chambers.

Cardiff are second in League One, 11 points clear of third-placed Bolton Wanderers and the chasing pack outside the automatic promotion spots.

However, the Bluebirds struggled before last month’s window for international fixtures, losing three and drawing two of their past seven games to fall seven points behind leaders Lincoln City.

After a fortnight without a match, the Welsh club’s run-in begins at Peterborough United on Monday (15:00 BST), the first of their final seven games of the season.

“Maybe it [the break] came at a good time,” said former Arsenal and Aston Villa defender Chambers.

“It was a reset moment, get together, work hard on the things we want to do.

“It’s been a really enjoyable season. We’re embracing it, being in the moment, enjoying everything, enjoying how we’re doing because I think what we’ve done this year has been really good, and there’s still some way to go.”
