Andres not too far off either.”Swansea City will be hoping to have their talisman back in the team ahead of the game as they seek to chance automatic qualification to the Premier League.The Black Stars captain is the club’s leading top sorcerer with 14 goals in 36 appearances in the ongoing campaign.Swansea City is third on the league table with 69 points.
