(Reuters) - Striker Fernando Llorente will miss Swansea City's first Premier League game of the season at Southampton due to a broken arm, the Welsh club has said.

The Spaniard fractured a bone in his lower arm while cycling on a family holiday in June. The club were initially optimistic he would be available for selection against Southampton on Aug. 12, but manager Paul Clement has ruled him out of contention.
