Swansea boss Cooper insists Watford defender Wilmot in his plans

Swansea City boss Steve Cooper insists Ben Wilmot is in his plans.

The Watford defender is on-loan at the Liberty to the end of the season.

"It's the same as everyone else," Cooper told WalesOnline.

"We can only have five out of our six loans in the squad when everyone's fit. Ben is a part of the squad and we're really pleased to have him here. He's available for selection and so is Ben Cabango.

"We're strong at centre-back at the moment. Some of the injuries we've picked up - and touch wood there are no more - have been to attacking players, aside from Mike van der Hoorn. But Ben will feature again soon I'm sure. He's a brilliant lad, a brilliant trainer, very reliable and very much part of what we're doing."
