Swansea winger Jefferson Montero has been given the all-clear to continue playing with a protective cast on his broken hand.

Montero fractured a bone in his left hand in a fall during last Sunday's 3-1 Premier League defeat to Manchester United.

The 27-year-old returned from international duty with Ecuador following x-ray confirmation of the break.

It was feared that Montero would be forced to undergo surgery and be absent for some time.

But a statement on the official Swansea website said: "Having seen a specialist yesterday, he [Montero] was given the go ahead to continue training and playing in a cast.
