Swansea City vs Ipswich - Swansea hopeful Carroll will be fit

Posted Thursday, October 04, 2018 by PA

Swansea are hopeful Tom Carroll will be available for the Sky Bet Championship visit of struggling Ipswich.

Carroll was forced off with a groin injury at Wigan on Tuesday, but manager Graham Potter said that was a precautionary move and is optimistic that the former Tottenham midfielder will feature.

George Byers is also expected to be fit after missing the goalless draw with a knock picked up in the 3-0 win over QPR last weekend.

Leroy Fer and Martin Olsson will be assessed as Wilfried Bony edges closer to a first-team return after a long-term knee problem.

Ipswich, bottom but one and still without a league win, welcome back Matthew Pennington after his one-match ban.

Pennington was sent off at Birmingham for two bookable offences and the on-loan Everton defender missed the 2-0 home defeat to Middlesbrough in midweek.

The Tractor Boys have no new injury worries and teenage midfielder Andre Dozzell is set to be included in the squad after suffering no reaction following long-term injury.

Dozzell came off the bench against Boro to make his first league appearance since sustaining cruciate ligament damage on the opening day of last season, but Myles Kenlock remains out with an ankle problem.
