Swansea City bring forward Michel Vorm knee surgery

Swansea City goalkeeper Michel Vorm is to undergo knee surgery today, despite the operation originally being scheduled for January.

Swansea City have decided to bring forward scheduled knee surgery for goalkeeper Michel Vorm.

The Dutchman had originally been expected to go under the knife to solve a long-standing knee problem in January, but the Premier League outfit have announced that he will have the operation today.

A statement from the club said: "Surgeons will explore the knee before carrying out work on clearing any loose ligaments and fragments of bone, and a diagnosis on the length of time he will be sidelined depends on the scale of the operation."

The Swans are currently 10th in the league table.
