Head coach Luke Williams insists he has a “healthy” Swansea City squad, despite being without some key players.
Williams says veteran midfielder Joe Allen is “on course” with his rehabilitation after a toe injury.
“He had a medium term length injury and is rehabilitating really well,” said Williams.
Like Allen, midfielder Josh Ginnelley and goalkeeper Andrew Fisher were not involved in the friendly win over Rio Ave last Saturday.
“From when I joined the club, I’ve not seen him [Ginnelley] kick a ball in anger, but he’s continuing to progress well with the medical team,” added Williams.
“Andrew Fisher is a shame because he picked this up on the tour and nothing could be done about that.
“He’s kicked the ball in a strange way and he felt a pain. We now know it’s going to be more extensive than that.
“Overall, I think we have to say we are a healthy group and there aren’t so many injuries for us to be alarmed about.”
Meanwhile Williams is positive about winger Ronald returning from a hamstring issue, possibly in time for Saturday’s Championship opener at Middlesbrough.
“Ronald is going to be very close, we are having to reign him in a little bit, he’s a machine, he wants to go, we have to make sure he comes back good and ready because he’s a very important player for us,” said Williams.
