Swansea midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng set to continue injury return

Swansea City midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng is set to continue his comeback from injury with South Korea.

Ki played for the first time this season when he turned out for the Swans' development squad in their victory over Celtic.

The South Korean skipper has since joined up with his national team for friendlies against Russia in Moscow today and Morocco and Switzerland on Tuesday.

Ki, who had an operation in June, went away with the South Koreans in the last international break despite the fact that he was not fit enough to play.

But Swans boss Paul Clement thinks it will be a different story this time around.

“Ki is with the national team. He should be okay and I think he will get some minutes with South Korea," Clement said.

“We will then see how he is when he reports back.

“It's the same for all the international players. We will see how much they have played and how the travel has affected them."
