Swansea City<\/strong><\/p>\n Kyle Naughton looks unlikely to be fit after coming off in the first half against Luton on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n “We are waiting on some scan results.\u00a0 I was really hopeful after the game it was a minor thing but he has had his scans and it is looking unlikely that he will be involved at the weekend.<\/p>\n “It was his thigh.\u00a0 It was a little tight before the game, he felt it during the game and came off but hopefully its not too serious.”<\/p>\n Jamie Paterson is back in and around the squad after his recent absence and looks set to play some part even if it is a place on the bench for the starting line up.<\/p>\n Blackburn Rovers<\/strong><\/p>\n Tayo Edun and Sam Gallagher won’t be fit enough to play a part this weekend after being forced off in Rovers’ 0-0 draw against Luton last weekend.<\/p>\n \u201cTayo\u2019s had his scan and he won\u2019t be available this weekend, which is a blow to us on the back of Harry Pickering\u2019s injury, ” explained Rovers boss Tony Mowbray.<\/p>\n \u201cSam Gallagher is unlikely to make it this weekend but I\u2019m not going to put estimations on how long he\u2019ll be out until we know for definite.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s fair to say that he probably won\u2019t play for us this weekend and that\u2019s a shame because he\u2019s in decent form.<\/p>\n \u201cSam\u2019s got similar symptoms to the issue he had against Nottingham Forest last season, it was a heavy bang to his chest.<\/p>\n \u201cCoughing blood is not something you want to see and we need to make sure that the ribs and lungs are okay. The checks are still ongoing and we won\u2019t risk him.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll get on with it and make the best with what we\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking ahead of the clash, Swans boss Russell Martin was full of admiration for the job that Tony Mowbray has done at Blackburn: “They are a team with a sprinkling of young players who have really learned from last year with experienced players such as Bradley Johnson and Daniel Ayala who know this level so well.<\/p>\n “This league is so strong but if you look at the teams around the play offs who have had real time to understand what they are doing.\u00a0 Tony is a guy I have a lot of time and respect for based on what he has achieved in the game.<\/p>\n “It is a game I am really excited about.”<\/p>\n The game at the Swansea.com Stadium kicks off at 5.30pm and is being broadcast live on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
