The Swansea City manager hinted when looking forward to the weekend clash that Ferrie could make his return from injury in the first team.
It has been a frustrating 15 months for Bodde who suffered a repeat of the injury that kept him out of action for almost 12 months on his return earlier this season.ย ย However he is now poised to make an earlier return than was initially feared as he looks to assist the Swans drive for a place in the Premier League.
And Sousa told the Western Mail โFerrie has a big chance to start playing now,โ he said. โHe is in better shape than he was last time and I have a lot of confidence from what I have seen in training. He is stronger than he was back at the start of the season.
โFerrie can have more opportunities and, considering the injuries in central midfield, he could even start this weekend.โ
