Swansea City vs Chelsea FC - Defensive duo in doubt for Swansea
Posted Friday, April 27, 2018 by PA
Swansea could be without defensive duo Federico Fernandez and Kyle Bartley for Chelsea’s Premier League visit.
The pair both face scans on knee injuries and, if ruled out, could force manager Carlos Carvalhal into playing four at the back rather than three central defenders.
Dutch winger Luciano Narsingh is another doubt with an ankle problem, but Portugal midfielder Renato Sanches could return to the squad for the first time since the end of January after a hamstring problem.
Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso will complete his three-match ban when his team play at the Liberty Stadium.
The Blues have no fresh injury concerns, but could make changes following the FA Cup semi-final win over Southampton, with Thibaut Courtois expected to return in goal.
Danny Drinkwater (groin) was left out at Wembley but could return, but defenders David Luiz (knee) and Ethan Ampadu (ankle) are out.
