Swansea City manager Francesco Guidolin has announced that club-record signing Borja Baston is in contention to make his debut in the Premier League meeting with Chelsea.
The 23-year-old has yet to feature for the Swans since penning a four-year deal at the Liberty Stadium on the eve of the new campaign.
Borja has now almost overcome his thigh injury, however, which has so far kept him out of games against Burnley, Hull City and Leicester City, and could now play a part against Chelsea when they visit South Wales on September 11.
"Borja has stepped up his recovery and has now rejoined the full group on the training field," Guidolin told City's official website. "He is progressing well and if things continue as they are I am confident he will be available for selection for the visit of Chelsea."
Borja cost the Swans £15.5m to sign from Atletico Madrid, making him the club's most-expensive ever acquisition ahead of £12m striker Wilfried Bony.
