Billy Jones pushing for Rotherham return

Rotherham defender Billy Jones could return to action in Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship home clash with Swansea.

The right-back did not make the matchday 18 for last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Preston despite having recovered from a hamstring problem.

He was then withdrawn from a reserves match as a precaution following an issue in the warm-up, but was set to be back in training on Thursday.

Midfielder Darren Potter (Achilles) and defender Sean Raggett (ankle) remain sidelined.

Swansea left-back Martin Olsson has been struggling with a back issue and will undergo a late fitness test ahead of the contest.

Tom Carroll, who sat out last weekend’s 2-0 win over Reading due to a groin problem, is set to miss out once again on Saturday but may be available for the trip to Bolton a week later.

That match could also see Wilfried Bony, Jefferson Montero and George Byers (groin) make their comebacks.

Montero, out since early September with a thigh injury, trained with the squad on Thursday. Bony has been building his fitness after a long-term lay-off.
