ROBBIE Fowler is ready for a return to full training - and he is on course to play again this season.
His comeback could come in the Championship home match against Barnsley on Sunday, May 4 and that would make him available if the Bluebirds reached the FA Cup final.
That will be played at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, May 17.
Fowler flew to Switzerland for a meeting with American surgeon Dr Richard Steadman, who carried out an operation on his hip.
City chairman Peter Ridsdale confirmed Fowler is set for a return to training. The striker has not played since December.
He has returned six goals from 13 starts this season.
There remains a good chance Fowler will be back at Cardiff city next season. Talks with the players agent have already started.
See today's South Wales Echo for a full report on Fowler's return.

I hope I never see Fowler in a city shirt again.
