Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal will be boosted by the return of Sam Clucas against West Brom, who has been signed off to play in the match after a knee injury.
The 27-year-old was substituted in Swansea's 2-0 defeat to Manchester United last weekend, and was not expected to recover in time for the West Brom clash on Saturday.
'Swans' boss Carvalhal said: ''Clucas is ready and 100 per cent. He did a good recovery, our medical department did very good work with him.''
He added: ''I was very concerned it was about the external ligaments and it was very painful on the day, but the next day when we came back to training...the pain disappeared and the scan showed nothing special.''
The midfielder has racked up three goals this season, two of which were during Swansea's 3-1 victory over Arsenal in January.
In other squad news, Renato Sanches and Angel Rangel will be unable to play in the West Brom clash, and Jordan Ayew will be serving the last fixture of his three-match ban.
