Garry Monk: 'Swansea City players must not dwell on Euro 2016 qualification'

Swansea City manager Garry Monk insists that members of his squad who have secured Euro 2016 qualification with their national sides need to focus on club football.

Garry Monk has urged Swansea City's players who have secured qualification to Euro 2016 with their national sides over the international break to regain their focus for club football.

Six of the club's players were in action with sides that qualified for next summer's tournament in France over the last two weeks, including Wales captain Ashley Williams and Poland goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

The manager told reporters: "I don't want to put a dampener on it, especially as far as Wales is concerned, because I know how momentous it is in terms of qualification. I've been living here for 12 years, so I know how big it is.

"But it's important from my perspective, and the club perspective as well, that we put it to bed to ensure we have a fantastic season at Swansea.

"It's great for us that those players have qualified with their countries, because it shows the club in a good light. But the rest of the season is about bringing the football they've produced for the countries to Swansea."

Swansea face Stoke City in the Premier League on Monday.
