Matos issues injury update on striker Vipotnik

Vitor Matos confirmed Zan Vipotnik missed Swansea City’s 2-2 pre-season friendly draw with Holstein Kiel due to a minor injury.

Slovenia international Vipotnik – the Championship’s top scorer with 23 goals last term – was not included in the Swans’ matchday squad for the contest in Austria after reporting a quad issue.

“Vipi felt a little bit of tiredness around his quad, so it was just a precaution more than anything else,” head coach Matos told the club’s official website.

New signings Moussa Yeo and Stephen Welsh both featured as winger Ronald and forward Adam Idah got on the scoresheet for the Swans.

A number of fringe and youth players – including Filip Lissah, Sam Parker, Dan Watts, Thomas Woodward, Arthur Parker and Cameron Congreve – also featured during the draw.

“It was good to have them (Yeo and Welsh) with us here because it allows them to adapt pretty quickly to the style,” added Matos.

“I was really impressed with both, I think they played a really good game.

“It’s more now that the team starts understanding them, their strengths and how we can use them.

“It was good to see some kids from the academy too.”
