The return of Gomez, 22, is a huge boost for head coach Fabian Hurzeler as he tries to find his best midfield combination.

If Hinshelwood is unavailable, then James Milner - who started at Bournemouth last Saturday - Yasin Ayari, Gomez and Carlos Baleba all the main options.
Baleba is however a concern for Hurzeler as he has struggled for form and fitness after a disrupted pre-season and constant speculation of a move to Manchester United.
