Garry Monk gave his Alex Hunt review after Sheffield Wednesday starlet got his Swansea City chance

With Lee feeling a tight calf, Monk threw Hunt into the mix at half time with the score still at 0-0 at the Liberty Stadium, however he was slightly out of position as he was asked to sit deeper than usual.
Hunt had a pass completion rate of 61% from his 24 touches and 18 passes - committing two fouls while making one tackle and one interception during his time on the field – as he passed the 150-minute mark in his development in senior football, and Monk was satisfied with how he did.

“Kieran would have stayed on, it was just precautionary with Kieran and his calf, but it’s more minutes for Alex and that will do his experience and process really well.”
There’s no doubt that Lee was missed when he went off at the break as the Owls soon went 2-0 down before a late Atdhe Nuhiu header reduced the deficit to 2-1, and Monk has some decisions to make ahead of Wednesday evening’s clash with Preston North End.
