Swansea City have been rocked by the news that key midfielder Darren Pratley is facing ten weeks out with a shoulder injury.

Pratley was substituted just ten minutes into Tuesday evening's 4-1 victory over Preston North End and the Swans medical staff are anticipating a lengthy absence.

"We are waiting to see the shoulder consultant at the hospital later today,'' physio Richie Evans told the club's official website.

"He will have to have surgery and we expect him to be out for up to ten weeks.''
