Ryan Tafazolli will return to Swindon Town’s matchday squad for the weekend visit of Crawley Town.

Tafazolli has not featured for Town since the 2-2 draw with Grimsby on November 22. He was withdrawn from that match with a minor groin issue.

Two weeks later, however, the centre-back found himself in hospital for an x-ray on his ribs, which were found to have been broken during the game at Fleetwood Town on November 15.

He has steadily recovered full fitness since, however, and is now expected to be available to manager Ian Holloway on Saturday (December 20).
