John Toshack was present at Swansea's 1-0 victory over Tranmere on Saturday and despite witnessing Ricketts give away a clumsy penalty in the first half, appeared pleased with what he had witnessed. However, the return from injury of first-choice full-back Ben Thatcher could mean a frustrating evening on the bench for the Swans favourite.
Also named in the squad is ex-Swan Richard Duffy, who is currently on a season-long loan at Championship outfit Coventry City. John Hartson, Craig Bellamy and Ryan Giggs have also been named in the squad, although there is no place for contraversial midfielder Robbie Savage.
