Swansea City midfielder Marko Stamenic says football is helping him refocus after his father's death. Stamenic missed three Championship games but has featured in every match since returning against Bristol City on 22 November. It comes in waves, as grief does, but football is helping me refocus myself. "The club, the people around it and of course the players, they've helped immensely, a lot of thanks to them. "[My] family is doing well, they're living with me and most important is that we're together."
