Fit-Again Forbes Available For Selection

Last updated : 29 September 2005 By Richard Evans
Swansea winger Adrian Forbes has returned to full training after fully recovering from the knee injury that has kept him side-lined since mid-August. Forbes has been forced to watch on from the stands since being stretchered off against Huddersfield, but is now back in contention for a first team place.

Forbes played the full 90 minutes in the club's opening two league matches, before lasting just half an hour at Huddersfield after being caught by a late challenge. The ex-Luton striker even managed to score the opening goal at Colchester as he kept the likes of Marc Goodfellow and Kevin McLeod out of the side.

Now Jackett faces a selection headache, due to the fantastic form of Leon Britton and Kevin McLeod, coupled with the club's recent performances. Forbes became an instant hero with Swansea fans last season, after scoring several crucial goals in the battle for promotion, including the last ever league goal at the Vetch Field and the match-winning strike at Bury that pushed the Swans into League One.
