Swansea City squad reunited as Cameron Burgess and Eom Jisung return to training
Swansea City's full squad is back together for the first time since the end of last season after Cameron Burgess and Eom Jisung returned to training. The duo were given extra time off after featuring at this summer's World Cup.
What happened?
Cameron Burgess and Eom Jisung have returned to training with Swansea City, reuniting the full squad for the first time since the end of last season. Burgess was given extra time off after Australia reached the World Cup knockout stages, while Eom's extra rest is thought to be down to the fact that he faces a busy September as a result of the Asian Games.
Why it matters for Swansea City
The return of Burgess and Eom is a significant boost for Swansea City as they prepare for their final pre-season assignment against Spanish second-tier side CG Leganes. The match will be a test for the team's depth and fitness levels, with head coach Vitor Matos waiting to see whether Zan Vipotnik will be able to play any part in the game.

Goncalo Franco is a definite absentee after the midfielder underwent surgery on an ankle injury.
