This gives Manning a break from the ardours of playing football and Russell can shuffle the pack again starting today at the tower....

No I don't think so both had a 4 game suspension outcome

But the FA have stuck the boot in anyway by the looks of it. Seems incredibly harsh, don’t remember seeing any of the lads going particularly crazy, more baffled than anything?

FA charges Swansea City over players' reaction to Ryan Manning red card
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60712700
 
Hannes Wolf fully recovered from Covid-19 and able to travel this weekend, while Nathanael Ogbeta will be included in the squad and in contention for his debut at Blackpool after time out with a hamstring injury.

Martin also confirmed that Flynn Downes – who was withdrawn at half-time against Fulham due to injury – will be fit for the weekend.
 
Manning’s red card has been upheld.

No surprise there <whistle>

Referee's seemingly have little difficulty in handing out red cards to Swans' players. Yet find it impossible to award them any penalties.
I simply cannot get my head around the fact, apparently, that no fouls are committed against Swansea players in opposition penalty area.. It beggars belief. <laugh>
