Swansea defender Joel Latibeaudiere hopes to remain involved in the Championship clash with Bournemouth after making his debut from the bench in Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Luton.

The 20-year-old joined the Swans from Manchester City on transfer deadline day, but due to injury – and the form of other players in the squad – he had been waiting in the wings.

The match may come too soon for midfielders George Byers (groin) and Morgan Gibbs-White (broken foot), while fans will not be permitted to watch the game from the stands.

The high-flying Swans sit one point behind Tuesday night’s second-placed opponents, with a win for the hosts enough to send them top.

Bournemouth duo Arnaut Danjuma and Joshua King could both return to contention as the visitors look to build on a comfortable 4-0 victory away to Barnsley last time out.

Danjuma has missed the last three games due to a hamstring strain and King recently tested positive for coronavirus. Both players will be assessed.

On-loan Tottenham defender Cameron Carter-Vickers (ankle) remains out, while young forwards Jaidon Anthony and Sam Surridge will be hoping to feature again.

A draw would be enough for the Cherries to top the table for 24 hours at least with current leaders Norwich – a point further ahead – not in action until Wednesday.
