Garry Monk: 'Jefferson Montero injury not as bad as first feared'

By , Reporter |
Swansea City manager Garry Monk claims that the hamstring injury suffered by Jefferson Montero on international duty is not as serious as first feared.

Swansea City manager Garry Monk has claimed that Jefferson Montero's hamstring injury is not as serious as first feared.

The 25-year-old winger suffered a muscle strain in Ecuador's friendly defeat by Mexico, and is being assessed by his club to see if he can play against Hull City on Saturday.

Monk is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "[Montero] came back today and it's not as serious as reports said.

"He had an assessment today but he'll have a proper assessment tomorrow [Friday] to see whether he's available for the weekend. But it's not as serious as first feared."

Swansea currently sit eighth in the Premier League table.
