Swansea v Notts County preview: Injury-ravaged Swans look to progress
Wednesday 7 February 2018 15:55, UK
An injury-ravaged Swansea host League Two side Notts County for a place in the FA Cup fifth round on Tuesday night.
Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal will face a trip to his old side Sheffield Wednesday in the fifth round if they get past Notts County, who held them to a 1-1 draw last month.
Swansea have lost both Wilfried Bony and Leroy Fer to long-term injuries this week, but Carvalhal says the absences give others a chance to prove their worth.
"Like the people say, when one swan falls, another swan begins to fly," said Carvalhal. "We are disappointed because Fer was doing very well and Bony was fighting hard every day to get to his best level.
"We wish we had them available, but we have players to cover the situation in the time that they are not here."
Notts County are third in League Two, and beat Crewe 4-1 on Saturday.
Team news
Bony and Fer have been ruled out for the rest of the season after picking up long-term injuries, while Renato Sanches is also out for a month with a hamstring injury.
Leon Britton (groin) and Angel Rangel (calf) are also unavailable for Tuesday night's clash, while Andre Ayew and Andy King are cup-tied.
Kevin Nolan's Notts County have no new injury concerns ahead of the fourth-round replay.
