Scotland’s Stewart suffers Swansea injury blow
Scotland striker Ross Stewart is set to miss Swansea City's next four Championship matches due to a quad injury, a fresh setback for a player who has barely featured since his summer move. The 30-year-old joined Swansea on a three-year deal last month but has managed only nine minutes of football, coming on as a substitute in a goalless draw with Sheffield United, before being sidelined for wins over Derby County and Watford.
Head coach Vitor Matos described the problem as a "soft tissue injury, not massive," and expects Stewart back around the international break, missing games against Wrexham, Southampton, Burnley and Lincoln City in the meantime. There was better news on captain Ben Cabango, who is in contention to face Wrexham after a heel injury, though his starting place is not guaranteed given Swansea's form. The club top the Championship with 10 points from four games and the division's best defensive record, having conceded just once all season.
