Renato Sanches back at Swansea to boost relegation fight

Renato Sanches has returned to Swansea City after recovering from a hamstring injury.

The midfielder did his rehab at parent club Bayern Munich and was back at Swansea's Fairwood base on Tuesday, where he will be assessed by medical staff ahead of a return to first-team action.

The Daily Mail says the Portugal international had a mixed first few months of his season-long loan from Bayern before hurting his hamstring in an FA Cup clash with Notts County on January 27.

With five games to go, Swansea are currently 17th in the table – five points clear of the Premier League drop zone.

Sanches is hopeful of playing a part in their survival bid but it remains uncertain whether he will be available for this weekend's trip to champions Manchester City.
