Huddersfield Town could be set to receive an injury boost ahead of their trip to Swansea City on Saturday, with Collin Quaner potentially set to make a return to first team involvement, according to the Huddersfield Examiner.

Quaner has endured a frustrating season so far, with the attacker having only managed to make two appearances for the Terriers in the Championship so far this term, which came in Huddersfield’s opening two matches of the campaign under Jan Siewert.

The 28-year-old would have been hoping that he could come back into the first team fold at Huddersfield this season and make an impact, having spent the second half of last term out on loan with Ipswich Town who ultimately went onto suffer relegation to League One.

However, Quaner’s impact has been limited due to a long-term issue with his hip, which has seen the forward unavailable for the Terriers so far under Danny Cowley, but the 28-year-old could now be set to make a return to the squad in the next few matches with the potential for him to be involved against Swansea.

The verdict

This would be a welcome boost for the Terriers heading into what will be a crucial last 13 matches of the Championship season, as Cowley’s side look to build on their 1-1 draw at Derby County last weekend and move themselves further clear of the relegation zone.

Quaner will be able to offer some extra tactical flexibility to Cowley’s side during the rest of the season, with the 28-year-old having the ability to operate both up front and in the wide positions in the attacking third, which could help him provide cover for the rest of the Terriers’ forward line.

The forward has not managed to prove himself to be a reliable scorer during his time with the club, but he always offers high work rate, which would potential see him suit the profile of players that Cowley is looking for in his side for the rest of the campaign.

It will be interesting to see how much game time the forward is given between now and the end of the campaign, as the Terriers look to move themselves away from danger and ensure that they keep themselves in the Championship ahead of next summer where they can further strengthen the squad.
