The French international is back in contention after serving a three-match ban for violent conduct following an incident involving Brighton's Adam El-Abd during the FA Cup tie at the Amex Stadium on January 28.
To the Brighton player's credit, he wrote to the FA to say: "I don't think Yohan Cabaye meant to hurt me, it was an accident."
But still they acted and banned the Newcastle midfielder.
The FA have insisted John Terry be stripped of the England armband even though he has yet to go to court - posing the question - what happens if Terry is found to be innocent?
Should the head of the FA stand down?
Cabaye is desperate to make a return against managerless Wolves at the weekend and revealed he has upped his training in a bid to secure a place in Alan Pardew's side.
Yohan Cabaye: "Three matches out was so long for me, and then another week without a fixture as well.
"It was very frustrating how it happened at Brighton but that is football and I have learned from it.
"But I have worked hard to be ready and fit again. During my time out I have been training with the team as normal but also training on my own at home.
"I wanted to stay as fit as possible so have been running and using the gym at home. If the manager selects me against Wolves I will be ready."
"The most important thing is just to think about Wolves.
"We have to forget what happened at Tottenham and keep moving forward.
"We will play with good spirit and to win the game, and we will go out there with only that in our minds.
"It is important to win at home - that is it. We know the next two games are very difficult, but at home I think we can beat every team if our spirit is good and if we want to compete.
"I saw that they have changed their manager so I don't know what they will be like now, but no game in the Premier League is easy."
