Swansea City were shorn of three attacking players for the trip to west London at the weekend - as they have been for some time now.
For various reasons Michael Obafemi, Jamie Paterson and Morgan Whittaker haven't been available or selected in matchday squads recently.
Obafemi and Paterson's situations have been ongoing concerns for some time, with the former having been dropped for games and the latter spending time away from the first-team squad last season due to a contract dispute.
