Swansea's Ross Stewart Ruled Out Until International Break
Swansea City’s plans up front have taken an early hit, with Ross Stewart set to miss the next four matches because of a quad injury.
The Scotland striker sat out Tuesday night’s Championship win over Watford, having already missed last Saturday’s victory away at Derby County. His start to life in south Wales has barely begun: since signing a three-year deal last month, the 30-year-old has managed only a single outing, a substitute appearance in the goalless draw with Sheffield United 11 days ago.
Now Swansea must prepare for a key run of fixtures without him.
Upcoming Matches
- Saturday’s home game against Wrexham
- Next Tuesday’s trip to former club Southampton
- Clashes with Burnley
- Lincoln City before the international break at the end of the month
“Ross had a soft tissue injury, not massive, but probably he can return in the international break,” said head coach Vitor Matos.
So the wait goes on for Swansea’s new forward to properly pull on the shirt. The question is simple: when he does return after the break, how quickly can he make up for lost time in a season that will not pause for anyone?
