Swansea City confident on Jay Fulton fitness for Derby test

Alan Sheehan expects to have the same players available for Saturday’s Championship clash with Derby County, but midfielder Jay Fulton will have a late assessment on a knock picked up at Leeds.

Fulton suffered a blow to his knee early in the dramatic draw at Elland Road, but soldiered on and put in a tireless display in the middle of the park for the Swans.

The Scot has trained this week, but caretaker head coach Sheehan will make a late decision on what role he can play against the in-form Rams.

“We are fine as a group, we are doing okay,” he said.

“Jay Fulton took a knock on the side of his knee early in the game, but he strapped it up and showed a wonderful mentality to play on as long as he did.

“He has been assessed and is back on the grass, but we will have a closer look at him nearer to the time.

“Kristian Pedersen is obviously still out.”
