Ferrie Bodde has undergone a third knee operation as the Swansea City midfielder bids to rescue his career, reports BBC Sport. The Dutchman, who has started just twice since first injuring his left knee in November 2008, returned to Holland for the minor procedure.
He played 14 minutes in his first game for almost 18 months in a pre-season friendly at Port Talbot in July.
And Bodde enjoyed taking a full part in Swansea's pre-season training but his latest comeback is at a "critical stage" according to manager Brendan Rodgers.
