Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner admits he could rest Aaron Mooy against Swansea

Aaron Mooy's World Cup exploits for Australia this week may cost him his place in Huddersfield's starting line-up when they return to Premier League action at Swansea on Saturday.

Mooy featured heavily as Australia beat Syria over two legs to reach the Asian qualifying play-off final and head coach David Wagner is pondering whether to rest his star midfielder.

Long-haul flights and extra-time in the second leg in Sydney may have taken their toll on Mooy, while Danny Williams' timely return to full fitness could sway Wagner's thinking.

'A lot of managers in the Premier League have this sort of problem,' Wagner told a press conference.
