Swansea City midfielder George Byers will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a high ankle sprain.

The 23-year-old was injured late in the first half of Saturday’s defeat to Derby after landing awkwardly under a challenge from Rams keeper Ben Hamer.

He was replaced by Yan Dhanda at half-time and missed tonight’s goalless draw with QPR.

And head coach Steve Cooper has revealed a scan has confirmed Byers will face a three-month absence, prematurely ending his 2019-20 campaign.

“It’s a blow. He has had a high ankle sprain, which is unfortunate as the keeper landed on him,” said Cooper.
