Swansea boss Bob Bradley rues loss of Ashley Williams as his side prepare to face Everton and their former captain

Swansea come up against former skipper Ashley Williams for the first time on Saturday with Bob Bradley admitting they miss the leadership qualities of the Wales captain.

Swans boss Bradley was still at French club Le Havre in the summer when centre-half Williams chose to end his eight-year stay in south Wales and head to Everton.

The 32-year-old made over 350 appearances in helping Swansea into the Premier League and establishing them in the top flight.
