Britton's recovery boost

16th October

Leon Britton took a step closer to a first-team return this week as the Swans midfielder continues his recovery from a knee injury.
The 32-year-old is yet to feature this season for the Swans, with Britton only managing two appearances during the club's pre-season tour of America.
Having sustained severe bruising on his knee, Britton has watched on as his team-mates sit fifth in the Barclays Premier League along with progressing into the Capital One Cup fourth round.
But his recovery stepped up a gear this week as he is now going through running drills with a view of returning to first-team training soon.
