Swansea City boss Carlos Carvalhal has plans to return Renato Sanches back to form.
Sanches, just 20 in August, has been hugely disappointing since his loan arrival from Bayern Munich.
Carvalhal, a fellow Portuguese, said: “Renato did very well in Benfica and did very well in the national team of Portugal but he needs to improve things and he must learn.
“He is not a player who knows everything about football. He is in the process to be a better player.
“But we give him a clear role in the last game and in this game also.
“First game he didn't start so well but second half he played a better level and I think after just three days he jump to another level.
“I am sure he will play a better level in the future because Swansea contract a really very good player.
“But he is a boy who is still learning and not a ready player who you can put on the team and say play and do your things.
“Because if you do that it will be difficult to win. My feelings is he needs a role and confidence and I believe that he will do a very good second half of the season."
