Swansea City will look to get their season up and running on Tuesday night when they host League Two Crawley Town in the Carabao Cup (19:00 BST).
Alan Sheehan’s Swans began their Championship campaign on Saturday with a 1-0 defeat away to a Middlesbrough side coached by Welshman Rob Edwards.
New loanee Kaelan Casey came off the bench in the second half at the Riverside to make his Swansea debut, and the 20-year-old from West Ham United is hoping for a bigger slice of the action against Crawley – and a first run-out in front of the home supporters at the Swansea.com Stadium.
“I’m looking forward to Tuesday and hopefully I’ll get some more minutes,” Casey said.
“You should never underestimate any team really, but I’m looking forward to it and can’t wait to play in front of the fans.
“We’ve got some really good defenders here… the skipper Ben [Cabango], Cameron [Burgess] – experienced players and I think I can learn off of them as well.
“But hopefully further into the season I’ll get some minutes and we’ll see.”
Crawley come into the game on the back of defeat to another Welsh club, having lost 2-1 at home on Saturday to Newport County in League Two.
