(Reuters) - Swansea City captain Ashley Williams will be rested ahead of the European Championship and will not play in the club's remaining two Premier League games this season, manager Francesco Guidolin has said.

The 31-year-old has been a fixture in the side since the Welsh club gained promotion to the top flight in 2011 and has featured in all 36 of their league games this season.
