Midfielder Jonathan de Guzman is poised to make a return from injury for Sunday's premier league clash away to Tottenham Hotspur.

De Guzman was out for the Swans' opening game of the season against Manchester United after a nasty head on clash with team mate Dirk Kuyt while on a training session for International duty.

The club says the 25-year-old Dutchman hopes to be fit for tomorrow's full training session ahead of Sunday's game.

The on-loan midfielder needed eight stitches after being treated for concussion, which forced him to miss Holland's friendly with Portugal.

But a return to the side for Thursday's Europa League game with Petrolul Poliesti has been definitely ruled out as too soon.

Sunday's kick-off at White Hart Lane is at 4pm.
