Weary Swans need rest - Martinez

18 March 2009 16:14
The Swans slipped to a 1-0 defeat against QPR on Tuesday, the first time this season they have suffered back-to-back losses. Boss Martinez admits his side are in need of a rest and has welcomed the forthcoming international break - but he has also warned his charges they must first win against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. "We have another very important game at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday where the boys will be asked to give it their all," Martinez told the club's official website. "Then we've got a 15-day break - and it can't come quickly enough. "We need to freshen ourselves up both physically and mentally. What will be pivotal for us making the play-offs is how we use the international break to get our freshness back."
