TEAM NEWS : Swansea City v Blackburn Rovers
It was great to hear that the Swans have a few less players on the treatment table for today’s game. Jamal Lowe especially will be a threat and we hear he will play.
Team has at last arrived 👍
Swansea City: Carl Rushworth, Ben Cabango, Joe Allen, Matt Grimes (captain), Jamie Paterson, Josh Tymon, Przemyslaw Placheta, Liam Cullen, Nathan Wood, Kyle Naughton, Ronald.
Substitutes: Andy Fisher, Josh Key, Jay Fulton, Harry Darling, Jerry Yates, Jamal Lowe, Charlie Patino, Ollie Cooper, Bashir Humphreys.
Blackburn Rovers: Aynsley Pears, Callum Brittain. Harry Pickering, Dominic Hyam (captain), Sammie Szmodics, Sam Gallagher, Tyrhys Dolan, Scott Wharton, John Buckley, Andy Moran, Kyle McFadzean.
Substitutes: Leo Wahlstedt, Connor O'Riordan, Zak Gilsenan, Arnor Sigurdsson, Yasin Ayari, Dilan Markanday, Jake Garrett, Ben Chrisene, Billy Koumetio.
From official sources : Ex-Swan Ryan Hedges is touch-and-go after missing out in midweek, whilst Sondre Tronstad is also a doubt after picking up a knock to his ankle a week ago in the draw against Norwich City. Elsewhere, Hayden Carter, Joe Rankin-Costello, Sam Barnes and Harry Leonard continue to be sidelined and are definite absentees.
Both sides are on the same points with Blackburn ahead on goals scored only. This really is a big game for a Luke Williams. Team news at 2pm UK a time.

What to read next:
Swansea City : Rak-Sakyi chances improve dramatically The Swans are still in a kind of limbo today as they look to at least seal a deal for out of contract defender Joel Ward this transfer window. And the news is ‘It is going to be a quiet window’ There could be movement in the academy but as it stands two young players of interest are not anywhere near to signing professional terms.
Swansea City : Jesurun Rak-Sakyi update and Josh Key back up named You won’t get anything of note from a football club during any transfer window unless it comes with a caveat that it is in their interest for certain things to be mentioned, proposed or even disregarded as a result of information given. Swansea City have a very tight unit of those who have access to information and any leak is easily traced.
Big match report : Swans let it slip again at MillwallIt happens a lot would be the recollection from the Sheehan era. Unfortunately It still happens is the comment on Vitor Matos’s stewardship to date. And that’s conceding goals at the end of games and halves. Having got themselves into a position to take a point away from the New Den an added time winner from Millwall undone all the Swans hard work.
Millwall v Swans plus player in Swansea for talks The Swans travelled from Swansea to their overnight accommodation prior to taking on Millwall at the New Den tomorrow (3pm) - today. A fully confident squad with more wins than losses in December. Then of course the opening game of the new year on January 1st saw the Swans defeat WBA 1-0.
Swans scrap it out to beat the Baggies There were some worried looks when Swansea head coach, Vitor Matos announced his starting eleven against West Bromwich Albion, not least the fact he had no striker in the team. It turned out to be a masterstroke despite a fifteen minute period in the second half, and some uneasy moments at the end of this Championship fixture.
