Swansea City head coach Alan Sheehan will assess a few players nursing bumps and bruises before making a final decision on his selection to face Leicester City on Saturday.

After a home draw against Millwall and a win at Blackburn at Ewood Park midweek, the Swans round off a three-game week on Saturday as they host Leicester City at the Swansea.com Stadium in their final fixture before the international break. 

The Swans boss admitted the demands of the week, on the back the long midweek trip to Lancashire on Tuesday night, may mean there are changes to be made to face the Foxes on the weekend. 

"Recovery is key after the long trip on Tuesday night," said Sheehan.

"There's a lot of bumps and bruises, some fatigue. After the other night we had a lot of tired bodies, but we have to pick a team that's ready to go in the best way for Leicester City.

"There will potentially be changes for Saturday. We have a very competitive squad, so we'll have to see how training is and where we go from there."
