Monk targets return to Swans side

Monk has been ruled out of the last seven matches, but he is targeting a return either on Boxing Day or Bank Holiday Monday.However, the 30-year-old concedes he may not be ready to play against both Reading and Crystal Palace in the coming days"It's up to me to try and earn a place back in that team," he told the BBC."If I'm being honest I can't see me playing in both games but we will have to see what the manager thinks."I'm sure there will be some rotation somewhere in terms of freshness so I will have to make sure I'm ready if given the chance."
