Swansea City boss, Brendan Rodgers is expected to have a selection headache ahead of the Swans Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Nathan Dyer will make a comeback after serving out his three match ban. However, in his absence Wayne Routledge did an impressive http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 for Rodgers and was instrumental in the Welsh side’s win against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Nevertheless, Rodgers was pleased to have Dyer back in the squad.
"It's brilliant to see Nathan back, he was unfortunate to lose his place the way he did, but he is a terrific player for us”, Rodgers told the South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 Evening Post.
The English footballer was shown a straight Red Card in the 60th minute during a league match against Wigan Athletic on 3rd March. It was the first straight Red for the winger in his career after he had made a high tackle on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-c19110 Gomez.
Subsequently, he was slapped a three match ban by the Football Association and missed out the action against Manchester City, Fulham and Everton. Later, the 24 year old admitted that he was really disappointed to miss out on the crucial games and believed
that the decision was a bit harsh.
In the player’s absence, Rodgers side did remarkably well, beating then league leaders Manchester City 1-0 and romped to a 3-0 away win against Fulham. However, the Swans went 2-0 down against the Toffees in their last Premier League match, which was only
their third defeat at the Liberty Stadium in the current season.
“The team have been fantastic if you look at March as a whole.”
"Of course the [2-0 loss against] http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 was disappointing, but we took nine points from 12 overall.”
Rodgers admitted that Dyer remains a valuable asset for his side and believed that the Englishman was unfortunate to be on the sidelines for three matches. He went on to say that Dyer brings a little bit extra to the team with his exciting play and always
keeps the defenders under pressure.
However, the Swans boss admitted that he has been left to make a tricky decision whether to start with player in the match against Spurs at White Hart Lane. He observed that the team did remarkably well in his absence and the player might have to wait on
the bench.
"Whether he comes straight back in or not is one of those decisions you have to make as manager."
“Nathan might have to wait for a chance on the bench.”
A win against Tottenham will help the Swans leapfrog Everton and Sunderland to the eighth spot.
