The Swansea City captain returned to action in the Swans last outing against Nottingham Forest – introduced as a late substitute in the 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
And many have tipped him to start against Preston on Saturday but Rodgers insists that this may not be the case – as he explained to the Evening Post.<\/p>\n
"This is the sort of decision I get paid to make<\/p>\n
"It's all about winning games for us now and all the players, especially in our last game against Nottingham Forest, have been magnificent for me.<\/p>\n
"I need to gauge whether or not this is the right time for Garry to come back in.<\/p>\n
"He is up to speed now after the injury and is available for me.<\/p>\n
"I was reluctant to throw him straight back in, especially leading up to the international break, but I will have no qualms about starting him now if I need to."<\/p>\n
"Garry is a fantastic leader of this club and every team needs leaders<\/p>\n
"When he plays he gives us great leadership in terms of communication and organising the team.<\/p>\n
"But you pick the team you think can get us results and if you look at the team in the last game, we were outstanding.<\/p>\n
"I will just do what I have always done on this one. I will look at each game and try to pick a team to win it."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
