Swansea City faces challenge at Lincoln without Josh Key
Summary

Swansea City prepares to face Lincoln City in the Championship on Saturday. Head coach Vitor Matos confirmed that Josh Key is a major doubt due to a hamstring injury sustained in the previous match against Burnley. If unable to play, Filip Lissah is expected to start at right-back. Swansea currently sits second in the league table, having won four of their first seven games. Lincoln, recently promoted, is looking to build on a five-game unbeaten streak after a shaky start to the season. Matos emphasizes the need for his team to adapt to different playing styles as they prepare for a challenging encounter.
