Swansea City have been spared the prospect of losing midfielder Eom Jisung in January after the 2027 Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia was postponed due to security fears.

It is highly likely Eom, 24, would have been called up by South Korea for the 24-team tournament that was scheduled to take place from 7 January to 5 February.

It could have meant Eom missing as many as five Championship matches while he was away on international duty.

But Eom will now be available for Vitor Matos' side after the Asian Cup was rescheduled to run from 23 December, 2027 to 21 January, 2028.
