Swansea City’s hopes for their upcoming clash against Leicester City have been hindered by an unfortunate injury setback. As the Swans have been enjoying an unbeaten streak in their last five Championship games, confidence was high going into the match. However, it has been revealed that key defender Ben Cabango will be unable to participate due to a hamstring injury. This blow not only affects Swansea’s defensive capabilities but also opens up an opportunity for Leicester to capitalize on their progress up the table.
Swansea manager Michael Duff will address the situation in his pre-match press conference, shedding more light on the overall injury status of his squad. Unfortunately, it seems that Cabango’s absence is not the only concern for the team. Winger Josh Ginnelly has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with an Achilles injury. Additionally, midfielder Joe Allen and defender Nathan Wood face an extensive period on the sidelines after undergoing surgery for groin and ankle issues, respectively.
Duff expressed his disappointment with the string of injuries three weeks ago, stating, “It’s been a tough week in terms of injuries. Woody will require ankle surgery, so we’re looking at about three months on the sidelines for him. Joe Allen underwent groin surgery and will also be out for a similar time frame. And unfortunately, Josh Ginnelly suffered a complete Achilles rupture, leading to his season-ending injury. It was a devastating blow, especially considering the language he used to describe the incident.”
Swansea City will undoubtedly have to face their upcoming match against Leicester City without some key players. The question remains whether they can overcome these setbacks and continue their impressive run or if Leicester will seize this opportunity to secure a victory.
