Swansea City is gearing up for talks regarding the future of striker Jerry Yates, as Sheehan faces a last-minute decision. Alan Sheehan anticipates that discussions with Yates will take place in the summer to determine his fate at the club. Yates, who arrived in Swansea in 2023 from Blackpool, impressed with nine goals in his debut season but was subsequently loaned out to Derby County last year, where he has since scored seven goals. Although Yates still has a year left on his contract, questions loom over his future at the club.
Interim boss Sheehan, whose own future at the club is uncertain, acknowledges that Yates’ loan spell has been beneficial for the player and believes a conversation about his future is inevitable. Meanwhile, concerns arise over midfielder Jay Fulton’s fitness ahead of the upcoming match against Derby County. Fulton sustained a knee injury during the recent game against Leeds United and will be evaluated closer to the match to determine his availability. Kristian Pedersen remains sidelined due to injury.
