Swansea boss Monk: Taylor injury not serious

Swansea City boss Garry Monk says an injury to Neil Taylor is nothing serious.

During defeat at Manchester City, Taylor was cut above the eye after a clash with City captain Vincent Kompany in the first half. He had to wear a bandage and later received stitches but Monk played down any potential controversy over the collision.

He said: "I think Neil is better looking now. Some scars will do him good! He took a nasty bump to the eye. It was quite swollen at half-time. I didn't see the actual challenge but I don't think there was any malice or intent there. Neil was fine in the changing room. He didn't mention anything untoward. He'll be fine."
