Cardiff manager Dave Jones could welcome back Robbie Fowler for their final league game of the campaign as they host Barnsley on Sunday.The former Liverpool striker has returned to training after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a hip problem and could be given a run-out as he bids to prove his fitness ahead of the FA Cup final against Portsmouth on May 17.

Another fit-again striker who could feature is Paul Parry after the former Hereford man resumed training following a hamstring injury.

Midfielder Stephen McPhail has been passed fit to play after limping off in last week's 3-3 draw at Burnley.

Jones can also call on defender Darren Purse after his three-game ban for a red card against the Clarets was overturned by the Football Association of Wales.

With nothing left to play for in the Championship it had been suggested Jones may wrap his stars in cotton wool but the Bluebirds boss insists he has no intention to field a weakened side.

Kick-off at Ninian Park is at 2pm.
