Swansea City Concerns Over Cameron Burgess' Achilles Injury

Swansea City is worried that Cameron Burgess may have a significant Achilles injury after he limped off during their Carabao Cup match against Birmingham City.

The 30-year-old centre-back, who joined Swansea in the summer of 2025, had been a consistent presence in the Championship until this incident. He was taken to the hospital for scans after the injury occurred while he was attempting to head the ball.

Head coach Vitor Matos indicated that the injury does not appear promising, but he prefers to wait for a full assessment. With Burgess potentially sidelined, summer signing Stephen Welsh is poised to step in for the upcoming league match against Stoke City. Swansea was already considering adding another centre-back to their roster prior to this injury.
