Swansea City v Fulham postponed as hosts report 'considerable number' of Covid cases

Swansea City's home clash with Fulham has been postponed with cases of Covid-19 still in the hosts' camp.

The game, which was set to take place on Monday at 3pm at the Swansea.com Stadium, is the third straight Swans fixture that has been cancelled, with ties against Millwall on Boxing Day and Luton Town on December 29 also called off.

Swans head coach Russell Martin said last week that the squad had two positive Covid cases but additional ones were found in the build-up to the fixture against The Hatters.

Swansea were last in action on December 11, the 4-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest in SA1.

Their next game is now set to be the FA Cup third-round match against Southampton on Saturday, January 8, meaning it has been almost a month since they kicked a ball in anger.

The club said in a statement: "Swansea City’s Championship fixture against Fulham has been postponed.

"The game had been due to take place on Monday, January 3 at 3pm at the Swansea.com Stadium.

"This is due to a considerable number of positive COVID-19 cases within the playing squad.

"The club has worked hard to try and ensure it would be able to fulfil the fixture, however, the amount of positive cases means the club do not have a sufficient amount of players available for selection."
