Wilfried Bony's injury is not as bad as first thought, Swansea have confirmed.

The 28-year-old has been cleared to play in Ivory Coast's World Cup qualifier against Mali on Friday.

"Bony was substituted at half-time at the London Stadium as a precautionary measure after complaining of tightness in his hamstring," said a Swansea statement.

"But further analysis has shown that there was no damage done.

"As a result, Bony has been cleared to head off on international duty."
