Cardiff hopeful on MacLean return

Last updated : 02 October 2007 By Daniel Elwes
Former Scunthorpe man MacLean, 25, has been sidelined since suffering ankle ligament damage in a reserve team outing at the end of August.

Initial estimates suggested he could be out until December, but Bluebirds boss Dave Jones believes MacLean could return ahead of schedule.

"Steve is still on the road to recovery and he might be back earlier than scheduled," he said.

"But there is no set time on ligaments healing and he is probably still a month away."
