Brentford are hoping Rico Henry will be available for Swansea's Sky Bet Championship visit to Griffin Park.

Henry started his first game in 14 months at West Brom on Monday after being sidelined with a serious knee injury.

The 21-year-old left-back was forced off during the 1-1 draw after taking a knock to the knee and Emiliano Marcondes (ankle) will also be assessed. Lewis MacLeod could be recalled after his last-gasp equaliser at The Hawthorns prevented a seventh defeat in eight games for the Bees.

Swansea, four points and four places better off than Brentford in 13th, are without Daniel James for at least the next fortnight. James suffered a slight hamstring strain in the 2-1 defeat at Derby last weekend, but Swansea hope the Wales winger will be fit for the Christmas programme.

Wilfried Bony returns to the squad after being rested at Derby, but Tom Carroll is again ruled out by a groin problem. Luciano Narsingh is nearing full fitness following a hamstring injury suffered in mid-October, but the Dutch winger must wait for his first appearance of the season.
