Swansea City have confirmed that manager Francesco Guidolin has been released from hospital after recovering from a chest infection.

The Italian, 60, has missed Swansea's last two matches because of the illness but will be back in the dugout for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth.

Swansea have won both games in Guidolin's absence under stand-in boss Alan Curtis, first stunning Arsenal at the Emirates before edging out fellow strugglers Norwich City to move nine points clear of the relegation zone.

Victory at Bournemouth on Saturday would make it three league wins in a row for the first time since May last year.
