Swansea defender Mike Van Der Hoorn doubtful for Charlton clash

Posted Tuesday, December 31, 2019 by PA

Swansea could again be without defender Mike Van Der Hoorn for the Sky Bet Championship match against Charlton.

Dutchman Van Der Hoorn suffered a knee problem during the warm-up ahead of the Boxing Day defeat at Brentford and missed the Sunday’s goalless draw against Barnsley.

Kyle Naughton and midfielder Jay Fulton both came into the side, with defender Connor Roberts and George Byers other options for Swans boss Steve Cooper should he want to freshen up the team.

Forward Jordon Garrick (hamstring) and defender Joe Rodon (ankle) continue their recovery.

Charlton boss Lee Bowyer suffered another injury blow after forward Macauley Bonne picked up a hamstring problem which forced him off at half-time in Monday’s defeat at Derby.

Montserrat striker Lyle Taylor came on for the second half and could return to the starting XI, but is being monitored following his return from a lengthy injury lay-off.

On-loan striker Jonathan Leko has been ruled out for the rest of the season with anterior cruciate ligament damage and has returned to parent club West Brom for on-going treatment.

Jonny Williams, Sam Field, Tomer Hemed, Chuks Aneke, Jake Forster-Caskey, Josh Cullen, Beryam Kayal, George Lapslie, Lewis Page and Ben Amos are all still sidelined.
