Swansea City defender Alfie Mawson free to return to action

Swansea City defender Alfie Mawson is told that he is free to return to action after sustaining an issue with his knee at the weekend.

Swansea City have revealed that defender Alfie Mawson could be available to feature against Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend.

Last Saturday, Mawson was forced to pull out of the FA Cup fifth-round clash with Sheffield Wednesday after his knee "locked" during the warm-up at Hillsborough, and there were fears that the centre-back could be missing from the club's upcoming matches.

However, after undergoing a scan, Mawson has been given permission to return to training and the 24-year-old may come into contention for the crucial Premier League meeting with Brighton at the Amex Stadium.

According to Wales Online, a Swansea statement read: "After seeing a specialist and undergoing an MRI scan, the influential defender is set to rejoin his teammates on the training ground ahead of the Brighton clash."

Mawson has made a total of 31 starts and one substitute outing for the Welsh club during the current campaign.
