Lincoln City

Tom Hamer could give Lincoln City a boost, although he remains doubtful because of a health issue as he nears a return. Mason Melia faces several more weeks out with a thigh injury, and Tendayi Darikwa remains sidelined with a knee problem of his own. Daniel Oyegoke is fit after going off with cramp in the win over Preston North End, having only been used from the bench in the following match.

Sonny Bradley and Andrei Coubiș have shared minutes at centre-back recently, with little to separate them, while Chiedozie Ogbene made his first start of the recent run against Bristol City.

Swansea City

Swansea City have a concern at right-back after Josh Key was forced off at half-time against Burnley with a hamstring problem. Key has shared the position with Filip Lissah in recent games, so his fitness leaves the position unsettled for Saturday's trip to Lincoln.

Up front, Adam Idah has started four of Swansea's last five games and has been withdrawn around the hour mark each time, while Zan Vipotnik, who has started just once in that period, again came off the bench at Burnley for the final 26 minutes. Goncalo Franco had returned to full training after an ankle ligament injury and was in contention to make his first appearance of the season before the Burnley game.
