Freddie Woodman: Swansea City's on-loan Newcastle goalkeeper suffers injury blow

Freddie Woodman was forced off against Leeds after injuring his hip trying to save Pablo Hernandez's late winner
Goalkeeper Freddie Woodman will miss the last three games of Swansea City's season with a hip injury.
Woodman, who is on loan from Newcastle, had played every minute of Swansea's Championship campaign until he was forced off against Leeds on Sunday.
It is unlikely the 23-year-old will be able to feature should Swansea make the play-offs, with head coach Steve Cooper saying "he is out for the season".
"We love Freddie. He's been great for us," Cooper added.
"But all our backing and support now is with Erwin Mulder and Josh Gould to see out the season for us."
Former England Under-21 international Woodman has been one of Swansea's star performers this season.
Woodman is to remain in Wales for treatment on the injury and has stated that he would like to play for Swansea again in 2020-21.
His loan spell expires at the end of this season and he has another year to run on his Newcastle contract.
With Woodman sidelined, Mulder will be Swansea's first-choice keeper with under-23s stopper Gould providing back-up.
