Swansea City head coach Vitor Matos insists his squad is focusing on physical recovery rather than league standings before the Welsh derby against Wrexham. The Championship fixture takes place this Friday at the Racecourse Ground. Matos stated that the priority for his players is to be in the best possible condition for the match, according to Swansea City.
The Swans currently occupy a position in the race for the play-offs, but Matos refused to discuss promotion prospects during his pre-match press conference. He noted the importance of the derby atmosphere but emphasised the need for a tactical and physical approach, per WalesOnline.
Wrexham host the fixture following their promotion to the second tier. This meeting marks the first league derby between the two clubs at this level in several decades. Matos confirmed the medical staff are monitoring the fitness of the first-team squad following a busy period of fixtures. The head coach expects a competitive environment for the Friday night kick-off, as reported by Sky Sports.
