Good news for Swansea City fans as Harrison Ashby is making a comeback for the Championship clash against Southampton this Saturday. The right-back or wingback, on loan from Newcastle for the season, has been sidelined since November due to a hamstring issue. However, he's set to return to Luke Williams' squad, providing a boost for the team.
Unfortunately, the Swans will be without Ben Cabango for the game. The centre-back is dealing with foot and ankle problems, which means he'll miss the chance for a reunion with former Swansea boss Russell Martin.
Williams shared, "Ben is not ready yet, but we think he is going to be out on the grass again very soon." The coach didn't provide a specific timeline for Cabango's return, keeping fans in suspense.
In addition to Cabango, right-sided defender Josh Key remains unavailable due to injury, leaving Ashby as a valuable asset for Swansea on the right flank.
On the injury front, there's uncertainty about teenager Sam Parker's return as he grapples with a hamstring problem. Williams opted not to put a timeline on Parker's recovery, keeping an eye on the young player's progress.
Another setback for Swansea is the calf injury Liam Walsh picked up during the New Year's Day victory over West Brom. Williams expressed concern, stating, "Liam is going to take some time. He has the journey in front of him to get strong enough to be able to train."
As the team faces challenges with key players sidelined, Swansea City supporters will be hoping for a swift and successful recovery for their injured stars.
