There were genuine concerns from fans over the mood within the Swansea City squad when Michael Obafemi and Olivier Ntcham were dropped earlier on in the campaign.
Ntcham was not included in the matchday 18 as the Swans beat Queens Park Rangers 1-0 while Obafemi was left out of five successive starting line-ups - the most recent of which saw him come off the bench to bag a late winner at West Brom - amid transfer interest from Burnley in the summer window.
To their credit, the pair have returned with a bang. Ntcham has played like a man possessed in the two matches since the most recent international break while Obafemi's sheer desire cannot be questioned at present.
