Aaron Mooy's enforced absence through injury could prove to be beneficial for both player and team, Huddersfield manager David Wagner suggested.
Mooy is fit to return to the Huddersfield side to play Swansea on Saturday following a knee injury he suffered during the Terriers' 4-1 victory over Bournemouth on February 11.
The Australian midfielder has missed nearly a month of football, but Wagner is positive about his return.
"He's been back in full training for the whole week without any issues," Wagner said.
"I was very happy with his last performance against Bournemouth, then he had his injury.
