Jay Fulton will return for Swansea City's Championship game against Leeds United on Sunday after recovering from injury.

Midfielder Fulton has missed Swansea's last three matches with a calf problem.

But Luke Williams says the 30-year-old is looking "very sharp" as Swansea prepare to return to action after the international break.

However, Eom Ji-Sung, Sam Parker, Andy Fisher, Ollie Cooper and Josh Ginnelly remain on the sidelines.

South Korea international Eom could return to full training next week after picking up a knee injury while playing for his country last month.

Youngster Parker, who is yet to play this season, is also close to returning to full training after long-term hamstring issues.

And there was encouraging news for winger Ginnelly this week as he began light training on the grass at Swansea's Fairwood training base.

Winger Ginnelly, 27, has not played since September 2023 after suffering a ruptured Achilles.

"We are getting there again with Josh," Williams said.

"We have to be very careful and we need him to be very careful about everything he does away from the training pitch, because his body is not used to training fully because of the amount of time he has been away.

"It's a step forward. It's the stage he was at before his last setback so we are optimistic now that we are going to crack it, and we are excited to see him on the pitch."
