Swansea in Europa

PARIS. — Swansea City will be looking to build on their stunning win at Valencia when they host Swiss side St Gallen on matchday two of the Europa League group stage at the Liberty Stadium today.
Swansea thumped Valencia to come away with a 3-0 win from their opening Group A trip to the Mestalla, while the Swiss also won their opener at home to Russian outfit Kuban Krasnodar.

Goalkeeper Michel Vorm believes that Swansea can take heart from their record at home in European competition this season despite injury worries and a 2-1 home defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League at the weekend.

The Welsh outfit could be without captain Ashley Williams with an ankle ligament problem, with right-back Angel Rangel (ankle) and wingers Roland Lamah (toe) and Pablo Hernandez (thigh) also in a race for fitness. “We have a few injuries which is disappointing, but we have coped quite well and I don’t think we feel tired,” said Vorm. “If we want to grow as a team and a club we want to play in Europe. — AFP.
