Vitor Matos is unsure whether Jeremy Monga may be recalled by Manchester City in January, with the teenage winger yet to make an appearance for Swansea City.

The Swans looked to have pulled off a coup when they signed England Under-19 international Monga on loan before last month's transfer deadline.

But the 17-year-old, who moved to the Etihad Stadium from Leicester City in a £10m deal over the summer, is yet to make a matchday squad since switching to south Wales.

Matos says Championship leaders Swansea are "in contact all the time" with Monga's parent club.

"There's a lot of things that, when you have a player on loan, you need to do and communicating is one of them," said the Swansea head coach.

"There's a lot of communication, and we are here with an open book about it. He's available, of course, but at the moment we have a really competitive squad.

"We need to make decisions regarding all the possibilities, to try to cover all scenarios on the bench as well, regarding how the game goes, let's say it like that.

"So far, Jeremy didn't make the squad, but let's see."

Monga, who became the third youngest player in Premier League history while at Leicester, had hoped to get regular football at Swansea, having scored once in 37 senior appearances for the Foxes.

But the likes of Moussa Yeo, Joseph Opoku, Eom Jisung and Ronald have been ahead of him in the pecking order at Swansea this season.

When asked whether Manchester City could opt to cut Monga's loan spell short, Matos said: "Let's see, we don't know.

"He's trying to make steps, he's trying to compete, he's trying to improve in a competitive squad.

"So I think there's still a lot of time. He's a really young player with a lot of potential; that's why he's at Manchester City and made games with Leicester, but at the moment that's our squad, so let's see for the future."
