Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has revealed that Chico Flores is close to making a return to full fitness.
The Spanish defender has recently been struggling with a thigh problem ahead of next week's Europa League qualifier against Malmo or Hibernian.
"I hope he will be back in training on Thursday," Laudrup told the South Wales Evening Post.
"We will have all four centre-backs back again for the start of the Europa League. We have very good depth in our squad this season."
Flores joined Swansea from Genoa last summer for £2m.
