Swans ease concerns over defensive duo

Ben Cabango and Stephen Welsh missed Swansea City's friendly win over Leganes after complaining of sickness on Friday.

The two centre-backs were absent as Joseph Opoku's goal gave the Swans victory in their final pre-season game.

But Swansea are confident the duo will be available when competitive football returns as Vitor Matos' side they host Birmingham City in the Carabao Cup next Saturday.

With club captain Cabango and summer signing Welsh absent, Cameron Burgess and emerging youngster Filip Lissah started in central defence against Leganes.

While Lissah impressed, he is being lined up primarily to compete with Josh Key for Swansea's right-back berth this season.
