Liam Walsh has been a player that has seen his time at Swansea blighted by injury. Numerous returns have been ended prematurely and this latest one could signal the end of his Swansea City career given that his contract expires in the summer.
Walsh was settling himself into the Swansea midfield on a more regular basis when injury curtailed his match against West Bromwich Albion on New Year’s Day and Swans boss Luke Williams has said that it will be tough for Walsh to be back before the season ends.
Walsh is one of several Swansea players who reach the end of their deal this summer and given he will have had no chance to impress the Swans boss before that happens it is tough to see how we could offer him a new contract.
“It’s really tough for him,” said Williams.
“I know him from watching him at Bristol City as well and when I was here first time around. But again, [he has had] so many injuries.
“When we do see him, he is outstanding – what a player. I am hoping we get to see him before the end of the season and then we can see how it is.
“He just doesn’t seem to be able to make the progress he wants to make, he is doing every single thing that he can. I look round during the game and he is in the row behind the dugout and he is standing up – he tried to head one in at one point.
“He is such a good guy and wants to be on the pitch for the team. He has just been unfortunate with his rehabilitation, with small setbacks a couple of times.
“We have to concentrate on the rehabilitation and then see where we are towards the end of the season.”
