Newcastle midfielder Ben Arfa could be back to face Wolves

Newcastle United midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa could make his return to action against Wolves at the beginning of April.

The 23-year-old, who joined the Magpies from Marseilles last summer, has been out injured since October with a broken leg.

"He's got every chance of playing," Pardew said. "The Stoke game [on 19 March] is probably too soon. He's running, but he's a good month away."
