Ferrie Due Back In Swansea
Ferrie Bodde is due back in Swansea today as the club assess his progress on the road to recovery
The Swansea City midfielder was ruled out for the season with a cruciate ligament injury sustained in the home defeat to Birmingham back in November.
Since that time he has pretty much been in Holland all the time but is now due back in South Wales with a target date for his recovery as the first game of next season.
Bodde played an instrumental part in the Swans first half of the season but will not feature again after the injury but has been reported on more than one occasion as healing well from his injury.
"We are in contact with Ferrie's physio in Holland every day, but we'll see him this week and assess how he is healing," Martinez told the Evening Post.
"His target at the moment is the first league game of next season."
