Cardiff City are flying-high, and Monday’s stirring comeback at Reading ensured the Bluebirds moved to within four points of league leaders Wolves at the top of the division.

Neil Warnock’s side have surprised fans and pundits alike by launching an early season push for promotion, but with half the campaign remaining, the former Sheffield United boss’ men have a long way to go if they are to secure a Premier League return.

January will prove to be a big month for Warnock, with changes to the squad expected, but the club have received a timely boost ahead of the winter window, with news that forward Rhys Healey had returned to action for the U-23 side last night.

The 23-year-old had been sidelined for ten months after tearing his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments during the 5-0 thrashing of Rotherham United in January, but appeared for 65 minutes upon his return to football.
