Swansea City vs Brentford - McBurnie in contention for Swansea

Swansea hope to welcome back top goalscorer Oli McBurnie for the FA Cup fifth-round home tie with Brentford on Sunday.

The 16-goal Scotland striker has been struggling with illness in recent weeks, but he came on as a substitute in the 2-1 defeat at Leeds on Wednesday and converted a late penalty.

Winger Nathan Dyer is a doubt with a hamstring problem, and Luciano Narsingh could make his first start of the season after coming off the bench at Elland Road.

Leroy Fer (hamstring), Declan John (ankle) and Wayne Routledge (calf) are all unavailable.

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has some defensive concerns as the Bees seek to avenge their 3-2 Championship defeat to Swansea in December.

The Bees will assess Rico Henry, who has been sidelined with a foot injury.

Fellow defender Henrik Dalsgaard is hoping to play, despite breaking a bone in his hand in training last Monday.

But Frank may be reluctant to make too many changes after the midweek visit of Aston Villa produced a sixth win in eight games.
