Injury worries stack up for Sousa

02 October 2009 09:50
Influential midfielder Ferrie Bodde has returned to his native Holland for an operation after suffering a recurrence of his cruciate ligament injury against Sheffield United last week. Leon Britton is rated doubtful due to a toe injury, while Cedric van der Gun and Andrea Orlandi (both thigh) also face late tests ahead of the game. Nathan Dyer and Jordi Lopez both return to the fray after serving one-match bans for their dismissals against the Blades last weekend. Joe Allen (hamstring), Fede Bessone (groin), Albert Serran (ankle) and Guillem Bauza (knee) are all long-term absentees. Sousa, who was sacked by the Loftus Road outfit after just five months in charge, has had a mixed start to life at Swansea as they currently sit 16th in the table with just two wins from their opening 10 games.
