Jamie Paterson unlikely to be fit for Saturday against Huddersfield
Swansea City have been dealt a blow after Jamie Paterson fell ill in training this morning and had to report sick. He isn’t expected to feature this weekend away at Huddersfield.
Jamie has been one of the swans better performers this season and put himself firmly in the Swansea City hall of fame with an incredible performance in the 3-0 demolition of Cardiff City. Having just signed a new deal with the swans and missing out on last Saturdays first game for four weeks it’s a blow for the player and the club. We understand he will spend this weekend recovering before being assessed by the club on Monday.
This leaves swans boss Russell Martin with a dilemma for the supporting role for Joel Piroe. It could well be that Michael Obafemi who has been linked with a loan move away from the swans starts again up front with the Dutchman.
In other news, Liam Cullen is understood to be in Lincoln this afternoon for a medical.

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.
