Jones: Ledley is on 'cloud nine'

The midfielder has been given the all-clear by the club's medical staff to begin running and has set himself a target of two to three weeks to return to action following operations on both hips. Jones told the club's official website: "I think Joe has set himself a target but we've still got to be careful. There was a lot of bone shaved off and we have to be sure that's fully healed. "He won't be pushed, he'll be back when he's ready." He added: "Joe is on a bit of a cloud nine at the moment because it's good news for him and he's happy, and that helps because there's a spring in his step."
