Swansea City anticipates receiving concrete information on the most recent injury setbacks at the team today. After Saturday’s convincing 3-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday, Nathan Wood and Josh Ginnelly joined a large number of other players in the treatment area on Monday morning.
After scooping up his first victory as Swansea City’s head coach, Duff has his fingers crossed despite an already worrisome injury list. According to talks we’ve received, Nathan Wood apparently underwent a “diagnostic ultrasound scan” that produced detailed information about the ankle injury he sustained early in Saturday’s game. The club now needs to know the precise extent of the harm in order to grade and treat the injury effectively after it has been detected. He is currently wearing a “boot” as protection. While some of such information is known, precise sonography is required. Additionally, we are told that occasionally a diagnosis needs to wait until 24 hours of stability. Wood will be fortunate to appear.
The injury to Josh Ginnelly, who was taken out on Saturday without a fight, is more worrisome. He needs assistance leaving the field, and his injury is more serious. Ginnelly’s status is unknown, but we can only hope it’s good news given that this is already his second significant injury since joining the team. The list of players below represents the FA’s stated injuries; the real diagnosis may vary. If healthy and available, each would have some effect on the first team roster.
Josh Tymon, Kristian Pedersen, Bashir Humphreys, Harry Darling, and Nathan Tjoe-A-On, who played for an under-21 team on Monday night, are all ready to fill in at the back. At Swansea, speed and deft forward play are in high demand right now, as they have been for a while. A concern is Ginnelly’s absence. For the time he was on the field on Saturday, he seemed to be the only player ready to run and create opportunities.
Though we continue to cross our fingers, the injuries appeared really serious over the weekend.
The Swans will cross the country to London on Friday to get ready for their upcoming major test against Millwall, who are now ranked eleventh in the Championship while the Swans are twenty-first.
