Swansea miss Eustaquio and Key for Norwich visit

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 18:31 · Archive

Swansea City will be without midfielder Stephen Eustaquio and defender Josh Key for Saturday's match against Norwich City. Eustaquio was forced off at half-time during Canada's meeting with the United States in the early hours of Wednesday morning after reporting a worrying sensation in his shoulder. Canada head coach Jesse Marsch revealed that Eustaquio had heard a 'crack' and was sent to hospital for an X-ray amid fears he could have suffered a broken collarbone.

Head coach Vitor Matos has offered an encouraging update on Eustaquio's condition, saying 'the picture looks okay' but the midfielder will not be available for Saturday. Matos has not ruled him out of Tuesday's game at Millwall. The 29-year-old has become an important figure since joining the club this summer, making six league appearances and scoring his first goal in the 2-1 victory over Lincoln City.

Key, aged 25 or 26 according to different reports, was forced off with a hamstring injury against Burnley before the international break and missed the trip to Lincoln City. He remains on his rehabilitation programme. The Swans are league leaders and could temporarily go five points clear at the top of the Championship with a win against Norwich, with summer signing Ross Stewart available after recovering from a quad injury.
