Swansea City to assess Ryan Manning ahead of Reading clash

Swansea City will assess the fitness of Ryan Manning ahead of Tuesday’s meeting with Reading, but are set to again be without Joe Allen and Jamie Paterson.

Joel Piroe will also be absent against the Royals as he begins his suspension following his red card against Burnley.

“We will assess everyone,” said assistant head coach Matt Gill.

“We will check on Ryan Manning, but it will be too soon for Joe, but other than that I think we came through unscathed (in terms of injuries).

“Jamie Paterson is working hard, as the gaffer mentioned in his last press conference, he has been back for a second appointment with a specialist, which went well.

“So hopefully we will have him back on the pitch soon because he was so good for us last season, and we are desperate to have him back with the rest of the squad.”
