CibbuanoMalceski faces final test on knee
May 16th 2008 00:00
SYDNEY defender Nick Malceski is close to making a miraculous return to senior football exactly 12 weeks since he underwent a revolutionary knee reconstruction.
The Swans last night named Malceski in their extended list of 25 for Sunday's match against Essendon at ANZ Stadium.
If Malceski completes a one-hour training session at the SCG this afternoon, he will have ticked the final box in his recovery and should be named in the senior side.
Last week, Swans coach Paul Roos suggested Malceski might play in the reserves first up given the amount of football he has missed, but the match committee has been so impressed by his training and fitness levels that he is likely to slot straight back into the team.
