Swansea manager Vitor Matos has confirmed Ireland striker Adam Idah could be facing months on the sidelines in a significant injury blow.

Idah pulled up with a hamstring problem in training before the St Stephen’s Day defeat to Coventry City, and Matos fears the issue is likely to be “significant”.

However, he insists an exact timeframe on a return for the forward, who cost the club £6m in the summer, isn’t yet known.

When pressed on whether the former Celtic man was facing months rather than weeks on the sidelines, Matos responded: “It could be. It’s not clear yet, but it could be a significant one.”
