Swansea City and Wales centre-back Ben Cabango is nearing a return to action following a hamstring injury.

The 23-year-old sustained the injury during Swansea's 2-1 win over Norwich City on 4 October.

It kept him out of the Swans' past two matches in addition to Wales' wins over Gibraltar and Croatia.

Swansea head coach Michael Duff says Cabango is "touch and go" to be available for for Tuesday's Championship clash with Watford.

"If it's [Cabango's return] not Tuesday, it'll definitely be Saturday," Duff added.

Swansea are also assessing defensive duo Josh Tymon and Josh Key, who had issues during their side's 3-1 defeat to Leicester City last time out.

On Tymon, Duff said: "We think it was cramp, that's why he played on.

"It was in his hamstring, it was more of a cramp than a pull. We'll have to see how that settles down."

Duff added: "Other than that, Josh Key got a bit of a kick on the ankle so we'll have to assess that."

Yaser Asprilla struck the only goal of the game as Watford beat the Championship's bottom side Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 on Saturday.

Discussing the visit of the Hornets, Swans boss Duff said: "It's a Championship game of football so it'll be tough.

"I've not seen loads of them yet. I was actually watching them before this [Leicester] game.

"It's about us as it always is and it's about how we can impact the game and perform."
