Swansea manager Cooper brushes aside Crystal Palace questions

Swansea City manager Steve Cooper has brushed aside questions about Crystal Palace.

Cooper is one of the names being linked to replace Roy Hodgson at Selhurst Park.

Addressing the Palace speculation, Cooper said: "It's not a week for any individual topics or conversations.

"This week is just about the second leg in the play-offs for Swansea City and doing everything we can to get the right outcome.

"I'm in that bubble like everyone else at the moment and just focusing on that.

"Nothing will distract me or anybody else, because this week is too important.

"We're motivated, we're excited, all of those things you feel in big games. Nothing else is on our mind and I won't let anything get in anyone else's mind in our group.

"It's about recovery, preparation and being as ready as we can for the next game. If you do that, then nothing else creeps in."
