McFadden could return for Toffees crunch

Birmingham striker James McFadden has been pencilled in for a comeback in the home Barclays Premier League clash with his former club Everton on April 12.

McFadden underwent keyhole knee surgery last weekend and has indicated to Blues boss Alex McLeish he could be available in two rather than three weeks, which would give him a chance of playing at Wigan on April 5.
