Luke Williams does not have any fresh problems ahead of his side welcoming Leeds United to South Wales on Sunday.

Swansea City could welcome back Jay Fulton to the matchday squad this weekend. The midfielder picked up a calf injury during training at the start of November.

Fulton has played nine times this term, with his previous appearance coming in October's 0-0 draw with Sheffield Wednesday. Williams told the club website: "We're in good shape. We have Jay Fulton in full training, which is great news and he's looking very sharp,"

The Welsh team have scored the fewest goals so far this season in the Championship, will 11 in 15 games. They also have one of the best defences in the division with ten goals conceded.

Ji-Sung Eom will remain unavailable for the Welsh side this weekend. The South Korean winger suffered a knee ligament injury while on international duty in October and is nearing a return

Sam Parker is nearing return from a long-term hamstring injury. The young full-back, alongside Eom, is also edging closer to returning to action, but will miss Sunday.

"Eom is not with the full squad training yet, he's doing well and his rehabilitation is on track. We'll hopefully see him in full training next week. Sam Parker is very close, he'll do some squad training this week and will hopefully be fully integrated next week."

Wales international Ollie Cooper is in the midst of his three-month absence after suffering a stress fracture in his foot. The Swansea midfielder will be out until 2025. Goalkeeper Andy Fisher (groin) has been out since pre-season and forward Josh Ginelly (Achilles) hasn't played since September 2023.
