Nigerian international, Victor Moses, is set to bounce back from injury in Stoke City’s clash against Swansea at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday.
The winger missed the Nigeria/Sudan back to back AFCON 2015 qualifying ties due to a thing strain.
City boss, Mark Hughes, is confident the Nigerian will shake off the thigh injury in time for the match after seeing him return to training this week.
Moses’ value to the Potters was evident when he was missing for the first time this season during the majority of Stoke’s defeat at Sunderland last time out.
The former Wigan star has hit the comeback trail away from the spotlight during the fortnight’s international break, however, and now the boss hopes to include him on the starting grid come Sunday.
Hughes said: “Victor trained a couple of times since the injury and, touch wood, he hasn’t had a reaction. So the feeling is he will be okay.”
