Team news | Swansea City v Rotherham United

Swansea City show four changes for this afternoon’s Championship clash with Rotherham at the Liberty Stadium, including a first start for striker Liam Cullen.

Cullen, Yan Dhanda, captain Matt Grimes and Ben Cabango all come into the side in place of Andre Ayew, Kasey Palmer, Korey Smith and Marc Guehi.

Palmer and Smith are among the substitutes, but Ayew and Guehi miss out with hamstring injuries.

Viktor Gyokeres and Jordon Garrick are absent from the bench having tested positive for Covid-19.

Gyokeres is self-isolating in Sweden having returned a positive test whilst on international duty, while Garrick is also self-isolating and following healthcare guidelines.

Tivonge Rushesha, Oli Cooper and Daniel Williams are named on an expanded nine-man bench following the alteration to EFL rules announced earlier this week.
