Swansea City

Josh Key is back in contention for Saturday's visit from Blackburn Rovers after head coach Vítor Matos confirmed he has returned to full training following a hamstring injury. Cameron Burgess remains doubtful because of an Achilles problem.

At right-back, Filip Lissah is expected to keep his place, with Ronald, who started there once in the last five matches, now sidelined by a hamstring injury.

Further forward, Moussa Yeo, with two goals in four starts over the last five matches, and Melker Widell are both candidates on the right wing. Elijah Just and Gonçalo Franco contest the right of midfield, while Jay Fulton and Stephen Eustaquio are the alternatives for another midfield place.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn will be without regular starter Sam Morsy for the trip to Swansea, with the midfielder serving a one-match ban after reaching the yellow-card threshold.

Moussa Baradji and Jayden Fevrier are both expected to keep their places after making their first starts against Wrexham. Ryoya Morishita remains out with an injury and is probably another two to three weeks away from returning to training. Lewis Miller continues his recovery from an ankle injury and is expected back around the middle of November.
