Swansea City may welcome having an extra day to prepare for their game against Leeds United as a number of players are away on international duty.

Luke Williams' side return to action after the international break with a mouthwatering home fixture against Daniel Farke's Leeds, with the match put back until Sunday, 24 November due to television coverage.

Even with Ollie Cooper out of action for three months, the Swans are well represented in Craig Bellamy's Wales squad, with Ben Cabango, Joe Allen and Liam Cullen all included for Nations League games in Turkey on Saturday and at home to Iceland next Tuesday.

Swansea striker Zan Vipotnik is in the Slovenia squad for Nations League games against Norway on Thursday and in Austria on Sunday, while goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux has made the long trip to South America.

He is with Chile for World Cup qualifiers against Peru in the early hours of Saturday morning and Venezuela on Wednesday, 20 November.

Nathan Tjoe-A-On is in the Indonesia squad for their home World Cup qualifying matches against Japan on Friday and Saudi Arabia next Tuesday.

Teenage winger Aimar Govea, who has been back in Williams' senior Swansea squad in recent weeks, has been called up to the Ecuador Under-20 squad.
