Swansea City have been boosted by the news that Jefferson Montero and Ki Sung-Yueng are back in training after injury absences.

Ecuador international Montero has not played since suffering a hamstring tear in the Boxing Day defeat to West Ham.

Ki, meanwhile, suffered a knee injury prior to the loss at Manchester City, with specialist advice seeing the midfielder ruled out for three weeks.

But the pair have returned to work at Swansea’s Fairwood training base this week, as they build towards a return to first-team action.

Montero has trained with the rest of the squad, and will be assessed before a final decision over his availability for the weekend clash with Burnley is made.

He has made just 12 appearances in another injury-hit campaign.

The 27-year-old — who signed a contract through to 2020 in September of last year — will find stiff competition for places on the flanks following the January arrivals of Luciano Narsingh and Jordan Ayew and Clement's preference to play Gylfi Sigurdsson as an inverted left winger.

Ki has so far worked alone as he completes his rehabilitation, building towards joining in with the rest of the group later this week.

The South Korean is targeting the game at Hull for his return, but will also face a task to force his way into the side given the form of Tom Carroll, Jack Cork and Leroy Fer in Clement’s preferred midfield trio.
