?Swansea’s players will pay for the tickets of the away fans that travel to Sunderland on Saturday, ?the Mirror have reported.
The Swans will be aiming for a potentially crucial three points at the Stadium of Light, having beaten Everton 1-0 last weekend.
That victory saw Paul Clement’s side climb above Hull City into 17th, although just one point seperates the sides with two games of the season remaining.
With a long trip north to Sunderland at such a pivotal point of the campaign, the Swansea squad have offered to pay for the tickets of the 3,000 expected supporters.
“It is a shame we can’t bring all the fans,” Swans boss Paul Clement said. “The players paying for the supporters’ tickets came from Leon Britton and I thought it was a brilliant idea.
“That’s been done by the players and led by Leon and we hope they get up there safely.”
Swansea have the advantage of playing before Hull, who visit Crystal Palace on Sunday. A win for the Welsh side against Sunderland would mean that Hull would go down without a victory the following day.
“It can swing so quickly the other way,” Clement added. “We have to really focus on making sure we do a good job at Sunderland.
“We know that Hull have got a difficult game with Crystal Palace still not out of it and that’s going to be hard. But the most important thing is to do a good job when we go to Sunderland.”
