After victory in South Yorkshire, there are no fresh injury concerns for the Swans.

Alex Mowatt returned from injury for Barnsley in the first leg and suffered no setbacks.
TEAM NEWS
Steve Cooper has no new injury concerns, while his Barnsley counterpart Valerien Ismael decided on his starting XI on Friday morning. It’s thought Carlton Morris could be in contention to come into Ismael’s team.
“I think we have a lot of possibilities, and it is always a possibility that Carlton starts the game,” said Ismael.
GOOD EVENING FROM THE LIBERTY STADIUM
It’s advantage Swansea as they host Barnsley in the second leg of the Championship play-off final. The Swans won 1-0 at Oakwell in midweek thanks to a beauty of a goal from Andre Ayew.
Tonight’s game will see 3,000 fans return to the Liberty Stadium for the first time in 443 days.
“It was great to have supporters back in the stadium [in the first leg],” said Swans boss Steve Cooper. “There was a great atmosphere. It felt real again.
“It was a reminder to us all how important supporters are and how much we’ve missed having spectators in the ground.
“Now we’ve got the opportunity to do the same in our own stadium. It’s something to really look forward to.
“It’s been long overdue. It is something to look forward to and to cherish. We’re excited about it.
“We’ve got to get motivated to play well in front of the fans.
“We’ve definitely missed them. It hasn’t been the same without them. I think it’ll be more positive going forward when we get full crowds back. We’ve got to really focus in on giving the supporters something to cheer.”
