Changes expected as Martin hints at summer departures

Russell Martin will make changes to avoid fatigue over the Easter weekend double header which starts today against Barnsley.

His team then head to Reading on Monday so rotation will be needed in order to keep the team fresh in the space of three days.

The full squad is available although Flynn Downes is touch and go and may only start on Monday rather than today.

The Swans will go into both fixtures in buoyant mood on the back of an unbeaten run that stretches five games and three consecutive wins.

โ€œThe squad is looking really good, and we are pretty much the same as we have been,” Martin said.

โ€œI think there will be lots of changes over the two games, but we are in a good place physically and mentally.

โ€œWe have had a good few days of preparation, we have digested last week, which was obviously a really good week for us.

โ€œWe want to carry on the momentum and positivity.

โ€œFlynn has been training, itโ€™s whether we use him for one game or both games and we will have a chat about that.โ€

Meanwhile in the wake of Kyle Naughton agreeing terms on a contract extension, Martin says that all the out of contract players know where they stand ahead of the summer transfer window.

The likes of Ben Hamer, Korey Smith and Yan Dhanda are all at the end of their terms and talks have been held to sort their futures.
