Swansea will be without two of the biggest stars in the team against Coventry tonight. Top-scorer Ferrie Bodde will be out for around six months, after his left leg was put in a splint. Scans have revealed the 26-year-old Dutch midfielder has suffered anterior cruciate knee ligament damage and torn cartilage in his left knee. The striker has made seven goals by now.
Midfielder Leon Britton was also injured in Friday's 3-2 loss to Birmingham City and he is uncertain for the battle tonight. If those two are not available it will be extremely difficult for Roberto Martinez' boys to get something.
Coventry's players are hoping to end the non winning strike of 4 matches at home. "It may not be a pretty game on Tuesday but I don't care about that," said Chris Coleman for BBC. "I just care about getting another result”.
Something interesting here is that Coleman is former Swan and Swansea is his top favorite team. This is simply another reason to play a home win here for 2.3 coefficient.
