Leeds Leeds Leeds ! Yannick Bolasie signs for the swans

The Swans travel north to take on an inform Leeds Unites at Elland Road on Wednesday evening (KO: 7:45pm) There are more concerns about injuries after Saturday, and decreasing crowds at a rapid rate is most certainly an area the club needs to address with a home game coming up this Saturday Huddersfield Town.

The first problem has been the assessment today of Harrison Ashby who had a hamstring pull on Saturday afternoon, the outcome of his scans will be known on Tuesday. There is a slight possibility there’s a connected injury, but if not - once the injury is graded more will be known. It’s pretty unlikely he will be available for a while. Josh Key miraculously came on as a substitute on Saturday after Michael Duff stated the day before he wasn’t available. We are pretty certain his inclusion or otherwise is hardly worth misinformation, but whatever floats your boat. He could well be an immediate solution out on the right, but it feels a bit too soon, still, maybe the new wonder doctor can help with his magical powers !

That’s the early news for now but Yannick Bolasie has signed for the Swans as expected this afternoon, so he will be considered available Wednesday nights game. The club have released details as a’short term contract’ but haven’t stated for how long. This particular secret we will get an answer after a few calls today. It’s clear the club are trying it on to see where the gaps are in their ranks. They will have more success plugging the gaps on the Titanic.

We covered Yannick a few days ago below.

⚽️ Freebie on his way

We will have a full match day build up tomorrow.
