Roberto hopes that Fedo Bessone will be fine after he was stretchered from the Liberty last night

Bessone was stretchered off during the Swans 2-0 victory over Brentford in the Carling Cup amid fears that he had broken some ribs.

He immediately signalled to the bench and after a couple of minutes of treatment he was stretchered from the pitch to be replaced by Angel Rangel - an unhappy end to his competitive Swansea debut.

But after an initial assessment Roberto revealed that the injury may not be as bad as they first feared although that was not totally confirmed.

Roberto told the official site "It doesn't seem as bad as we first thought

"We feared he'd broken his ribs because Fede said he heard a crack. But after the doctors assessed him in the treatment room, we think it's just badly bruised.

"We'll have to wait for confirmation from the hospital, but hopefully he'll be fine.''
