Swansea midfielder Joe Allen injured his knee against Derby

Swansea City will be without injured midfielders Joe Allen (knee) and Andrea Orlandi (hamstring) for Saturday's home Championship game with Peterborough.

That could see Ferrie Bodde, an unused substitute in the 1-0 win at Derby, make his first start since September.

Striker Gorka Pintado is suspended after being sent off at Pride Park.

But midfielder Leon Britton is fit after missing the last three games with a back injury, while Cedric van der Gun and Craig Beattie are in contention.

Dutch wing Van der Gun has been out since injuring a hamstring against Leicester on 2 January but is pushing for a recall to boss Paulo Sousa's match-day squad.

Likewise striker Beattie, who injured his knee against Middlesbrough on 23 January when he came on as a late substitute, could be passed fit enough for a recall.

However, captain and central defender Garry Monk could miss out with a back injury that saw him miss the Derby game.
