Fernando Llorente is back in training with Swansea — but he won’t be fit to feature in Saturday’s clash with Manchester United.

Spain international Llorente , who hit 15 goals last season to help keep the Welsh outfit in the Premier League, broke his arm in a cycling accident during his summer holiday.

Head coach Paul Clement said: “It’s good to have Fernando back involved. We will see how quickly we can get him fit to play, but he will not be ready for Manchester United.

“Because of the nature of the injury to the arm, he lost a lot of upper-body bulk.

He managed as well as possible to maintain his cardio fitness, but he is going to have to rebuild that upper-body strength which he wasn’t able to work on while the arm was fractured.”

Llorente is a key man for Clement.

The 32-year-old missed the season-opening draw at Southampton and won’t face Jose Mourinho’s league leaders United either.

The trip to Crystal Palace a week on Saturday is a more realistic target.

“Palace is a possibility. We will see,” Clement said.

“We will take it day by day with him. Hopefully he will respond well to the training and will be available soon.”
