Ben Cabango will miss the Swans’ last two games of the season and Wales’ summer fixtures after it was confirmed that he ruptured an ankle ligament.<\/p>\n
The centre half was forced off after a rather nasty challenge from Jamal Lowe which coincided with the Swans losing their three goal lead to draw as he was replaced by Korey Smith.<\/p>\n
Russell Martin confirmed today that the injury he suffered means he is unlikely to be fit until the first few weeks of pre-season.<\/p>\n
Martin said ahead of this weekend’s trip to Nottingham Forest: “Unfortunately, Ben is done for the season.”<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had a scan on Wednesday and it is not good news for us, or for Wales. He is out for the summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will be back with us for pre-season, although he might miss the first week or two.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will go to see a specialist on Tuesday and it is highly unlikely he will be going away with Wales.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an ankle injury and I don\u2019t know how he played on with the extent of the injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has been outstanding and improved so much and was in a great place.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be tough for him to miss out this summer because of what is at stake for Wales.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a blow for him, for us and for Wales, but he has to make sure he rests and recuperates and comes back fit and firing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
