Gylfi Sigurdsson feels Swansea City's squad will be stretched to the limit in the coming weeks.
Swansea dropped to seventh in the table following a 2-1 defeat away to champions Manchester City.
Iceland international Sigurdsson, 25, says Swansea's strength in depth will be tested during a busy period in December.
"We need a strong squad - it's a long season," Sigurdsson said.
"There's going to be a few injuries during the season and we need the players that are maybe not playing every game to come in strong when they're called upon."
