Franck Tabanou will continue waiting for his Premier League debut after he suffered a quad injury during training.
His Swansea City manager, Garry Monk, has confirmed the setback could keep the 26-year-old out of contention into the new year. The full-back, who joined from Saint-Etienne for £3.5 million in the summer, has only made appearances in the League Cup for his new club.
"Franck's injured his quad, he has a tear, so he'll be out for a few weeks. Apart from that it's a fully fit squad," Monk said at his pre-match conference for Saturday's visit of Leicester City.
One of those players returning to contention is midfielder Jonjo Shelvey, who was suspended for the club's last outing at Liverpool last Sunday.
