Borja aiming to be fit to face Chelsea

Borja Baston is training with the Swansea City squad as he recovers from a thigh injury and aims to be fit to face Chelsea.

Swansea City boss Francesco Guidolin is "confident" that record signing Borja Baston will recover from a thigh injury in time to make his debut against Chelsea.

The Spanish striker, who moved to Liberty stadium in a club-record £15.5million transfer from Atletico Madrid in August, has not played a competitive match since the final game of a loan spell at Eibar in May.

Fellow Spaniard Fernando Llorente has led the line for Swansea in Borja's absence, but Guidolin is optimistic that he will have both players available for the visit of Chelsea on September 11.
