Swansea boss Clement: Bony now ready; Wales job?

Swansea City boss Paul Clement has laughed off talk of taking the Wales job.

The Football Association of Wales is seeking a new coach after Chris Coleman left to take charge of Sunderland.

Yesterday, Clement was asked if the job would interest him.

"I've got enough on my plate here!" he replied.

"They have lost a really good manager in Chris, who did so well. I know him well so I wish him the best. There are a number of contenders, I will be interested to see who takes over a talented group with some talented young players."

Meanwhile, Clement says Wilfried Bony is ready to step in if Tammy Abraham isn't fit to face Bournemouth.

On Abraham, the manager said: "He has not trained yet, we have to see how he responds to treatment today to see if he can train tomorrow. He is 50/50, he is a doubt.

"I would prefer to have him available because he can score goals, but Wilfried came back last week and is ready to start, he is hungry, fit and motivated. If Tammy is not available we have him."
