Ki Sung-Yueng remains a doubt for Swansea City's home clash against Newcastle United due to a hamstring strain, according to reports.
The South Korean midfielder was forced off shortly before half-time against Chelsea last Saturday after complaining of the niggle.
WalesOnline claims that Swans staff are confident that Ki has not suffered a serious issue, but will struggle to make this weekend's game against Steve McClaren's new side.
Jack Cork is expected to step up to replace the 26-year-old former Celtic man in Garry Monk's starting lineup after impressing against Jose Mourinho's side on the opening weekend of the season.
