Ben Cabango remains a doubt for Swansea's trip to Derby County

Summary

Swansea City captain Ben Cabango is being assessed for fitness ahead of Saturday's match against Derby County. He left the field in the second half of last weekend's goalless draw with Sheffield United due to a heel problem. Head coach Vitor Matos stated that Cabango will be evaluated again after Friday's training session. Meanwhile, midfielder Stephen Eustáquio is available to make his debut after joining from FC Porto. Eustáquio, who signed a two-year contract, is expected to enhance the team's midfield options, bringing experience and playmaking ability. Gonçalo Franco is still recovering from an ankle injury but is progressing towards a return to fitness.
