Defensive worries for Swansea ahead of Gillingham clash
Posted Friday, January 25, 2019 by PA
Swansea have just two fit senior centre-backs for Saturday’s FA Cup fourth round clash with Gillingham.
Joe Rodon will miss up to eight weeks after foot surgery, leaving Mike Van Der Hoorn and Cameron Carter-Vickers the Swans’ two fit frontline defenders.
Wales Under-21 defender Cian Harries will step up in Rodon’s absence.
Wayne Routledge will miss out on Saturday with a calf concern, while Kyle Naughton has a knee issue and Joel Asoro and Nathan Dyer have been battling a sickness bug.
Defender Max Ehmer should start for Gillingham after an ankle injury to Alex Lacey.
Ehmer has had to bide his time sitting on the bench for the last two weeks, after recovering from a dislocated shoulder.
But now Lacey is likely to be out of action for several weeks, paving the way for a return to the starting line-up for Ehmer.
Regan Charles-Cook and Tom Eaves could be restored to the starting XI after substitute roles in Gillingham’s 3-0 home League One reverse at the hands of Walsall.
