The summer has flown by with Euro 2024 and the Olympics, but football fans are now turning their attention to the start of the new season. For Swans fans, they are hoping for a better showing than last season, which was marred by instability both on and off the field.
The team has seen some changes in the transfer window, with four new faces already making an impact. Liam Cullen, Eom-Ji Sung, Gonzalo Franco, and Lawrence Vigouroux are all set to feature in the upcoming match against Middlesbrough. Despite some injury concerns, it looks like Ronald will also play a part in the game.
In terms of the midfield lineup, Azeem Abdulai is looking to solidify his spot, potentially displacing Jay Fulton. However, Fulton has been a favorite among managers in the past, so his place in the starting eleven might not be in jeopardy just yet.
Unfortunately, some players will be missing from the squad for the Middlesbrough game, including Josh Ginnelly, Aimar Govea, and Sam Parker. The Championship season kicked off with Blackburn and Sheffield United securing wins in their opening matches.
Looking ahead, Swans manager Luke Williams will be aiming for a positive result against Middlesbrough before the highly anticipated clash with Cardiff City in gameweek 3. The pressure will be on if the team doesn’t start the season well.
