Craig Beattie is doubtful and Cedric van der Gun is set for a late fitness test ahead of Preston's visit to the Liberty Stadium.
Beattie has a foot injury and van der Gun is struggling with a hamstring problem but last Saturday's postponment of the Watford game has given him extra time to recover and he could be in the frame.
Paulo Sousa is much more hopeful that the former West Brom man will be fit, however.
Big Finnish frontman Shefki Kuqi could be named in attack after making his Swans debut as a substitute at Coventry a fortnight ago, with Gorka Pintado potentially making way.
Joe Allen will be hoping to get the nod over Jordi Lopez in midfield but defender Albert Serran (hamstring) is still out.
