Chico concern for Hammers visit

Swansea are sweating on the fitness of defender Chico Flores for the visit of West Ham to the Liberty Stadium this weekend.

The centre-half has a groin problem and will undergo a fitness test, with Alan Tate, Garry Monk and Kyle Bartley all waiting in the wings as potential replacements if he is unavailable. Striker Itay Shechter will miss out as the Swans are still awaiting the completion of the paperwork for his loan move from Kaiserslautern. South Korea international Ki Sung-yeung is set to join for a club record fee but will not be included in the squad, but Scott Sinclair will feature again despite electing not to sign a new contract with the South Wales outfit.
