Swansea City striker James Thomas has been ruled out of the Swans' Third Division trip to Boston United tonight with a shin injury. Last seasons top scorer joins Karl Connolly on the sidelines as the Swans look to get their league campaign back on track.

Brian Flynn's team have not won a league game since defeating Yeovil 3-2 at the Vetch on 28th December. An atrocious run of results has seen the Swans' slip out of the play-off positions to 10th position.

TEAM NEWS

Thomas required two stitches to a leg wound that was picked up in a reserve team game this week. The injury could rule him out of action for two weeks.

Karl Connolly meanwhile is struggling with an ankle knock and will sit out yet another game through injury this season.

Youngsters Mark Pritchard and Antonio Corbisiero have been included in the squad.

Boston have Daryl Sutch definitely out with an ankle injury. Simon Rusk and Matt Hocking could also miss the game for the Pilgrims.
