Swansea striker Fernando Llorente will miss the start of the new Premier League season with a broken arm.

Llorente suffered the fracture in a cycling accident while he was on holiday during the summer break and is set to miss the opening two games.

Swansea start their season at Southampton on August 12 before hosting Manchester United the following weekend.

"Fernando's rehabilitating individually - he has not joined the team training yet," head coach Paul Clement told the official Swansea website.

"But assuming all goes well, we anticipate that happening in the next 10 days.
