Striker Adam Idah could make his first Swansea City start at home to Nottingham Forest in Wednesday night's EFL Cup tie (20:00 BST).

The 24-year-old came off the bench in Saturday's 2-2 Championship draw at home to Hull, replacing fellow striker Zan Vipotnik for his debut.

But the former Celtic forward could make his first start since moving to the Swansea.com Stadium in a deal worth an initial £6m.

New signings Manuel Benson, a winger on loan from Burnley, and left-back Ishe Samuels-Smith, on loan from Chelsea, could also make their Swans debuts.

But midfielder Marko Stamenic has been ruled out of facing former side Forest due to a groin injury he picked up while on international duty with New Zealand.

Fellow midfielder Jay Fulton and defender Ricardo Santos are still injury absentees.
