Liam Walsh : ‘He’s broken down’ Swans midfielder out again
Liam Walsh who has only played a handful games for Swansea City over two seasons is again injured after what is being described as a ‘new’calf injury.
Swans head coach Michael Duff explained yesterday that the highly regarded midfielder was again suffering from injury. "Walsh has broken down, we’ve not seen him, he felt his calf, in fact he felt a different part of his calf so I think he’s out for another four or five weeks”
We covered Liam Walsh and his time at Swansea recently in a special feature including PFA risk assessments and the details surrounding long term injuries.
That’s here —> ⚽️ Liam Walsh Injury crisis
It’s a great shame for Liam who seemingly was making some progress after his recent injuries. You can only feel for the player but when does this continued injury issue become a cross roads and certain decisions to be made by the Swans ? In two years he has played just twelve league games for the Swansea City and in total just ninety five games as a professional. In eight championship seasons the most games he has played is nine for Bristol City.
It was a huge gamble bringing him to Swansea in the first place and now it seems that gamble hasn’t paid off. Duff continued, "That’s a disappointing one for him, obviously he’s had a stop start since he has been here, but, there’s not a lot we can do about it it, so until he’s ready he will be with the medics and then we will integrate him when we can”
We don’t expect to see Liam Walsh in any shape or form now until the end of September when he will have celebrated his twenty sixth birthday.

Swansea City : Zak Jules in profileThe Islington born centre back has eligibility through his mother to play for Scotland and his career hasn’t seen a level above league one, however this past campaign he has drawn interest from a few Championship clubs.
Ronald to leave Swansea City : Transfer criteriaThe main success possibly bar Josh Tymon has been Ronald over the last five months of the season. Without doubt a raw talent still, his impact in a number of Swansea games last season was exciting and game changing. We had a lengthy chat with a journalist who supports this site and one of the staff at the club. A fairly key member in the decision making tree as well.
Will the Swans learn from their mistakes ? He’s back because he’s a Jack, the Butty man reappears, the snivelling skurvied outcast clinging to life like the barnacle he is. A salt ridden death reincarnated, yes, just like the club he supports from two hundred years ago, now called Swansea it was then called something else …
Swansea City : On the cusp in a very good way ! Two players who have come to Swansea City in the last two seasons from London clubs have earned a position on the clubs retained list this weekend. Both are considered exceptional talents by the Swans academy, and their dream remains alive to become full professional players in the first team squad.
Swans confirm who is staying and congratulations Abdulai ! As we stated this morning Swansea City have released their retained list and also confirmed the signing of Joe Allen for another year. The midfielder has been sitting on an offer for some weeks but indicated via a third party to us he would sign.
Swans retained list and Owain Tudur Jones on Paul Watson We understand that the Swans retained list will be announced today or at the latest on Saturday. And of course that includes players that will be released by the club from the academy and first team squad. So, the Swans plans and immediate future regards players coming in will become much clearer. Or at least the areas they need to target.
Swansea City : Where are the Swans today on all their player business ? Bar the Macaulay Langstaff news there has been little of any concrete info in the offing this week. Mind you that alone caused a stir. Between now and the transfer window opening on June 14th, which is the date for the European Championships to start there will be little to speculate on.
