“Leroy Is Hungry” Says Brendan As Danny Looks Set To Miss Out

Danny Graham looks set to miss Saturday’s clash at Blackburn but Brendan is happy with his potential hungry replacement

Graham limped out of last weekend’s 0-0 draw with Aston Villa to be replaced by Leroy Lita who now looks set to start on Saturday as the Swans go in search of their first away success of the season.

Brendan told the Western Mail “I would say it is more against than for (in terms of Graham’s fitness).

“When Danny is injured you know he is properly injured as he is old school like that.

“I knew it was bad when he had to come off but we will assess it again before we make a decision.

“But Leroy is very hungry.

“He has been fantastic and he is a great professional, and that’s not easy as a striker as you live for goals and games.

“He has been a great squad player and he has to keep working, and when the chance comes he has to take it.

“When he came on last week he was strong and aggressive and he can give defenders problems, and if Danny is not ready and I need to use Leroy I will have no doubts, that’s why I brought him here.”
