Monk Rated "50/50" For Manchester City
Garry Monk says he has a 50/50 chance of making the opening game at Manchester City
Monk was ruled out of Swansea City's opening Premier League clash at Manchester City earlier in the week by Brendan Rodgers but the Swans skipper believes that he still has a chance of making the historic clash.
Speaking to the Evening Post, Monk said "I am not going to be far off being ready for Manchester City
"The injury is progressing nicely and fitness-wise I have been working hard all summer because I knew I would miss some of pre-season. I am not in full training yet, but I am building towards it. I think I've got a 50-50 chance of being available on the opening day."
The game kicks off on August 15 at 8pm

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week.

Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
