Swansea midfielder to miss start of next season

 

Swansea have announced Ki Sung-Yeung will miss the start of next season after undergoing minor knee surgery.

 

Sung-Yeung sustained a knee injury during South Korea’s 3-2 win over Qatar in their World Cup qualifier last month.

 

The 28-year-old will remain in Korea to continue his rehabilitation before returning to Swansea when Paul Clement’s side come back from their pre-season tour of America.

 

Swansea have not been able to put a timescale on his return but are confident it’s not a long-term issue and he will only miss the start of next season.
