Swansea boosted by fitness of Llorente

Fernando Llorente is set to boost Swansea City ahead of the weekend's crunch clash with AFC Bournemouth.

The Spanish striker limped out at half-time of last weekend's 2-1 loss to fellow relegation battlers Hull City.

However, the 11-goal striker has recovered from a dead leg and should be fine to take his place in Saturday's trip to the south coast to take on the 14th-placed Cherries.

Manager Paul Clement also revealed that defender Kyle Naughton could also be included but winter signing Martin Olson, who has scored twice in four outings, will miss.

"Fernando is okay and is training with the group, as is Kyle Naughton who we lost in the latter stages of the Burnley game," said Clement.

"Both of those players have returned to training but Martin Olsson has not, and Stephen Kingsley will replace him this weekend.
