The Swans are on the road and this evening take on Portsmouth at that famous old ground, Fratton Park. Here is the latest followed by team news.

Swansea City are checking on Stephen Eustáquio ahead of tonight’s visit to Portsmouth after the midfielder suffered groin discomfort during Saturday’s 4–0 victory over Blackburn Rovers. An initial assessment post match wasn’t too revealing so it’s a fitness test for Eustáquio this afternoon. He has travelled with the squad. The Canadian opened the scoring before being withdrawn in the second half. Head coach Vitor Matos said the problem did not initially appear serious, although further assessment was needed before a decision on his availability. Marko Stamenic will return to squad selection after missing the Blackburn Rovers game with a fever, an excellent standby or even starter for this one.

Out wide, Ronald remains unavailable with his hamstring injury, while Moussa Yeo is expected to sit this one out as well. Cameron Burgess also remains sidelined. Saturday showed that the Swans can produce without those options, but two away games in five days will test the depth available to Matos. Portsmouth tonight, Birmingham on Saturday. There is little breathing space in this division. Filip Lissah, injury dependent or Josh Key will fill the right back role with Matos preferring Lissah as Key is just back from injury. His involvement on Saturday filling in for Lissah wasn’t planned so an assessment on him will also take place.

Tiago Parente made his debut for the club on Saturday and for the short time he was on he didn’t look out of place. That’s reassuring as Matos has now seen how the Benfica loanee can take on a Championship atmosphere while being on the pitch as opposed to the bench. Swans fans will also want to see Jeremy Monga on loan from Manchester City, however his involvement will very much depend on one man and that’s Vitor Matos. What we do know is that the head coach has spoken to Monga regards starting games as the season progresses. (Sources) Unfortunately those second half injuries on Saturday prevented Monga making his debut despite being stripped and ready to go.

Vitor Matos : "We know that what happens in the previous game does not guarantee anything for the next game because it's a ruthless league. So what happened Saturday does not guarantee we win again, so we have to have the focus on what we can control, which is trying to competitive and trying to show a proper performances. We will have big support with us again, and we want to show them a team that represents the values of the club and the city."
