Ishe Samuels-Smith looks to have played his last game for Swansea City after returning to parent club Chelsea due to a muscle injury.

Left-back Samuels-Smith was not involved in Swansea's 1-0 win at Leicester City last weekend or the draw with Middlesbrough on Easter Monday.

The 19-year-old, who has made eight Swansea appearances since joining on loan from Chelsea last September, is now back at the Premier League club receiving treatment.

Head coach Vitor Matos says the likelihood is he will not feature again for Swansea as they head into the final fortnight of the Championship season.

"He had a soft-tissue injury and his recovery is in the hands of Chelsea," Matos said.

Samuels-Smith has shown signs of his potential during his stint in Wales, but his opportunities have been limited thanks to the form – and regular availability – of first-choice left-back Josh Tymon.

Matos, meanwhile, says Zeidane Inoussa will not be involved when Swansea face Southampton on Saturday because of a slight setback in his bid to return from a long-term back problem.

Josh Key (hip) and Ethan Galbraith (calf) also remain on the sidelines as Swansea prepare to host the division's form team.
