Neil Taylor out injured until October

Swansea City defender Neil Taylor will spend over a month on the sidelines due to a thigh injury.

The left-back was substituted during the club's 5-1 victory over Petrolul Ploiesti last week, and the club have revealed that he will not return until October.

A club statement read: "Swans defender Neil Taylor has been ruled out for four to six weeks due to a haematoma (severe bruising and swelling) on his thigh."

The 24-year-old has made 76 appearances for Swansea since joining the club from Wrexham in 2010.
