Youngster Sam Parker looks set to miss the final two games of Swansea City's season with a hamstring injury, but Josh Key could return to play some part at Norwich City on Saturday. Parker has started Swansea's past four games – and impressed – at right-back, having been handed an opportunity as a result of injuries to Key and Ethan Galbraith.

Youngster Sam Parker looks set to miss the final two games of Swansea City's season with a hamstring injury, but Josh Key could return to play some part at Norwich City on Saturday.

Parker has started Swansea's past four games – and impressed – at right-back, having been handed an opportunity as a result of injuries to Key and Ethan Galbraith.

But the 19-year-old, who previously spent a year out of action due to a hamstring issue, has been added to the injury list after picking up a problem during Tuesday's win at Queens Park Rangers.

"He felt discomfort on his hamstring, so let's see how it is," said Swansea boss Vitor Matos.

"It's the hard thing in sports, when you have an injury in these kind of moments, but we all love Sam.

"We cannot speak about what it is before having the proper diagnosis but whatever happens, I think the steps he did on the last games were really good."

Parker's injury means Joel Ward will come into contention to start on the right flank of defence as Swansea go in search of a third straight away win at in-form Norwich City on Saturday (15:00 BST).

Key has not played since mid-March because of a hip problem, but will travel to Carrow Road having returned to training last week, though Matos suggested the right-sided player will not be fit enough to start.

Winger Zeidane Inoussa remains on the sidelines after a long-term back issue, while Melker Widell and Jay Fulton are fit to face the Canaries despite picking up knocks during the QPR win.
