Skipper set to return

by Admin , 16 March 2010 Skipper set to return

Swansea skipper Gary Monk is pushing for a start against West Brom after finally shaking off a troublesome calf injury.


The Swans skipper is in contention after finally recovering from the injury that has kept him out for a month and Finnish striker Shefki Kuqi may be recalled to the starting line up.

He was only deemed fit enough for the second-half appearance from bench during Saturday's goalless draw with Sheffield Wednesday after picking up an ankle injury, but he is thought to be fine now and he could play in place of Craig Beattie.

Beattie himself will no doubt be anxious to face his former club but may have to make do with a place on the bench.

Gorka Pintado, returns after serving a four-game ban so he too is pushing for a start.
