Swansea v Millwall team news with 6 doubts and 4 outs as Lions midfielder hopes for return

Swansea City look to extend a 10 match unbeaten run on home turf against Millwall this weekend with the London outfit travelling to Wales having done the double over the hosts last term.

The Lions picked up 1-0 victories both home and away last season and go into this weekend buoyed by an away win over Watford last time out. Just one place and two points separate Millwall and Swansea City in the Championship table at this early stage.

Alex Neil is navigating somewhat of an injury crisis ahead of the fixture. LondonWorld has your Swansea City v Millwall team news.

Swansea City team news

Swansea could see centre-back Ricardo Santos return to first team action against Millwall for the first time in three months. The 30-year-old has been dealing with a knee injury but managed 45 minutes for the under-21s last weekend.

The hosts could also be given a boost by the return of Jay Fulton. The midfielder hasn’t featured since the second league outing of the season but is back in full training.

Full back Ishe Samuels-Smith is a doubt for the visit of Millwall. Swansea City boss Alan Sheehan said: “The squad is looking good, we have got guys getting back up to speed. Ricardo played some minutes for the under-21s and so did Bobby Wales.

“Jay Fulton is back in full training now. Ishe has felt something in his groin in training, but we will hope he will be available for Saturday. I think that means we are close to having everyone available, we have a busy week coming up but all focus is on Millwall right now.”

Doubts - Ricardo Santos, Jay Fulton, Ishe Samuels-Smith.

Millwall team news

The injury crisis at Millwall continues but there have been some boosts recently. Macaulay Langstaff returned against Watford and Zak Lovelace was in action for the academy in midweek. Max Crocombe was also on the bench at Vicarage Road after his issue prior to facing Crystal Palace.

Lukas Jensen and Danny McNamara are long-term absentees for the Lions with Casper De Norre and Alfie Doughty all also in the treatment room.

Luke Cundle remains a doubt having missed out last time out, but his problem isn’t thought to be serious. Billy Mitchell and Femi Azeez could return against Swansea City.

When asked for an update, Neil said: “Yeah, maybe he’ll [Mitchell] be on the bench at that point. A lot of the lads are in training. It’s actually quite frustrating just now because I’ve got Femi [Azeez] training, I’ve got Billy training. There’s a lot back training. It’s just they’re not quite ready to be in matchday squads.

“Billy will probably make the squad at the weekend and touch wood we haven’t got any more injuries tonight. The rest of them should be okay as well that played tonight.”

Doubts - Femi Azeez, Billy Mitchell, Luke Cundle. Outs - Luke Jensen, Danny McNamara, Casper De Norre, Alfie Doughty.
