Allen fit for south Wales derby
- Published
Swansea City have been boosted by news that Joe Allen is fit for Sunday's south Wales derby.
The vastly experienced midfielder is yet to play this season after picking up a toe injury in pre-season.
But former Wales international Allen, 34, has been declared fit for this weekend's meeting with neighbours Cardiff City at the Swansea.com Stadium.
“Joe Allen is in full training so is available for selection," said Swansea head coach Luke Williams.
"We are all happier when Joe is available and can be in the squad. It makes everybody at this club a lot happier, so that’s good news.”
Allen's return gives Swansea a welcome option in midfield.
But there are injury issues elsewhere in Williams' squad, with Sam Parker, Aimar Govea, Josh Ginnelly and goalkeeper Andy Fisher all on the sidelines.
