Former Swansea City striker Lee Trundle says the club's senior players need to "step up" and fill the void left by captain Ashley Williams' exit.
Defender Williams, 31, joined Everton on the eve of the new season.
Trundle said other members of the squad now needed to show leadership following the Wales skipper's departure.
"Now he's moved on I think it's up to other people to step up and take that mantle," Trundle told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"Ashley was very important on the pitch but he was very important off it as well and he held the dressing room together.
