Emnes has made eight Premier League appearances for Swansea this season.

Emnes is used in limited fashion off the bench for manager Garry Monk this season and that trend will likely continue into the foreseeable future. His six total shots on the season denotes his lackluster value.

Emnes was able to score Swansea's lone goal in their 2-1 loss to Liverpool on Tuesday during the Capital One Cup.

This was the second goal that Emnes was able to score during Capital One Cup competition this year. However, he'll have to turn his efforts solely on Premier League play now that Swansea has been knocked out of the competition. Emnes doesn't have any goals during his three Premier League appearances and will be looking for his first of the season against Everton on Saturday.

Emnes will play for Swansea City's U21 squad as he tries to recover from an ankle injury that has kept him on the sidelines so far this season, the South Wales Evening Post reports.

Emnes was available off the bench for the Swans during their match against Chelsea on Saturday, but he was ultimately never called into action. The fact that he was available and his ability for the U21 squad shows that his preseason ankle injury is finally not holding him back.

Emnes (ankle) has an outside shot of returning from injury and playing in Saturday's match against Chelsea, the Daily Mail reports.

Emnes has yet to play a game for Swansea this season as he's been dealing with an ankle injury. Originally the injury didn't seem too serious, but it has continued to linger into the season. Even if he's ultimately unable to go Saturday, the fact that it was a possibility means that he's close to returning in the near future.

Emnes will at least miss the opening game of the EPL season with a meniscal problem in his knee, Swansea City's Official Site reports.

Emnes is on the border of making the starting 11, but his knee injury certainly doesn't help that cause. He'll get it scanned in two weeks to determine if he'll need to be sidelined longer than just the opener against Manchester United on Aug. 16.

Emnes signed a three-year contract with Swansea City on Wednesday after transferring from Middlesbrough, the club's official web site reports.

Emnes is quite familiar with the Swans, as he's already had two loans spells at the club. With Wilfried Bony perhaps on the way out, as well as Michu, Emnes could see some decent first-team football this upcoming season.

Emnes has accepted a loan deal to return to Swansea City where he scored twice during a month-long loan in the 2010-11 season.

Emnes will join the Swans from Championship side Middlesbrough.
