LLORENTE BACK IN SADDLE AT SWANS

-

FERNANDO LLORENTE is back in training with Swansea.

But the Spanish hitman won’t be fit to feature in Saturday’s clash with Manchester United.

Star striker Llorente, 32, (left) hit 15 goals last season to help keep the Liberty Stadium outfit in the Prem, but broke his arm on holiday this summer after falling off his bike.

Swansea head coach Paul Clement said: “It’s good to have Fernando back involved. We’ll see how quickly we can get him fit, but he will not be ready for Manchester United.

“Because of the nature of the injury to the arm, he lost a lot of upper-body bulk. He managed as well as possible to maintain his cardio fitness, but he is going to have to rebuild that upper-body strength.”

Crystal Palace away is more likely. “Palace is a possibilit­y,” Clement added.
