Eom Ji-Sung will return for Saturday's Championship game against Portsmouth with Luke Williams adamant Swansea City are ready to go again after their midweek win at Derby.
Eom, 22, has been out since suffering a knee injury playing for South Korea on 10 October.
But the winger is fit to play some part when Swansea go in search of a fourth win in six league games.
"Eom has been away for a while but he's available," said Swansea head coach Williams.
"We are really excited that he's back and he looks really excited in training. It's a real positive for us."
Williams says Swansea "don't see a problem" with Harry Darling's availability for Portsmouth even though he was forced off at Derby due to injury.
Swansea clung on to claim a third away victory of the season at Pride Park, having lost an epic contest against Leeds United last Sunday.
Portsmouth, by contrast, have not kicked a ball in anger this week having seen last Saturday's trip to Blackburn Rovers called off due to a waterlogged pitch before Wednesday's home fixture with Millwall was postponed thanks to a power cut at Fratton Park.

But Williams has brushed off concerns over Swansea's energy levels as they face opponents who have not played for three weeks, saying: "The players are in a flow.
"Yes there are going to be some tired bodies and a couple of broken toes in there and whatever, but it's nothing they are not used to and can't cope with.
"We have had a busy schedule, but we got a good result so that's given everyone a boost, and we love playing at home as well, so that's given everyone a boost as well.
"We are not feeling sorry for ourselves in any way. We are looking forward to the game."
Swansea head into the weekend sitting 11th in the table, five points adrift of the play-off places.
Portsmouth, who were League One champions last season, are four points adrift of safety at the foot of the table, though they have two games in hand on most sides in the division.
They claimed just a second win of the season in their last game, against Preston on 9 November.
