Borja Baston Will Not Play For Swansea In Season Opener Against Burnley

12 August 2016 08:10

Record signing Borja Baston must wait for his Swansea debut as he sits out the Premier League opener at Burnley.

Borja completed a club record £15.5million move from Atletico Madrid on Thursday, but Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin will not integrate the 23-year-old Spaniard into his squad until next week.

Gylfi Sigurdsson will be among the substitutes even though he has only just returned to training following Iceland's summer exploits, while Wales defender Neil Taylor is not included as he builds up fitness after his post-Euro 2016 break.

Provisional squad: Fabianski, Naughton, Amat, Fernandez, Kingsley, Britton, Cork, Fer, Routledge, Barrow, Llorente, Nordfeldt, Birighitti, Rangel, van der Hoorn, Ki Sung-yueng, Dyer, Montero, Sigurdsson, Emnes, Fulton.
