Joe Ledley is set to return to action for Cardiff City Football Club in April.

The Wales international has been out of action since undergoing hip surgery in January, and whilst it was thought he would miss the rest of the season, manager David Jones has other news.

“Sometime in April we might have him back,” he told the official club site. "With Joe, I'm trying to push the physios to force it along, but they might tell me five weeks. It's just down to Joe.

"We've got to get the all-clear that he can start running and once he starts running, hopefully we can push him along. But it's still an injury that will take the timescale the specialist has given.

"I think Joe wants to play again before the end of the season but again, we are in the hands of the specialist and when he gives the all-clear."
