Russell Martin has confirmed that Ollie Cooper is expected to return for Sunday’s match against Bristol City at the Swansea.com Stadium.
The 23-year-old was withdrawn at half-time in the defeat to Middlesbrough last weekend after taking a knock during the first half.
He subsequently missed the midweek trip to Millwall entirely but the Swans boss confirmed that Cooper – fresh off his first senior call-up to the Wales side – is back in training and is available for selection.
Martin also confirmed that Joe Allen – who was forced off the pitch with injury against Luton Town – is also progressing well.
“Ollie Cooper is back which is great news, but I think that’s it to update you on,” said Martin.
“Joe will be back after the international break so he’s progressing well.”
Steven Benda remains the only long-term absentee with the German shot-stopper ruled out for the rest of the season.
