Four Week Absence For Gower
Mark Gower has been ruled out of action for up to four weeks
The Swansea City midfielder has been a revelation this season in a new central midfield role but results from his hamstring tear say that he will now be missing for up to four weeks.
Gower underwent a scan this week and results from that scan have confirmed a Grade Two scan on his hamstring with the absence now estimated.
Gower sustained the injury in last week's victory at Reading and will miss key fixtures over the next month including Wigan in the Carling Cup and almost certainly the derby against Cardiff on November 7.

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
