Ethan Galbraith: Swansea City to ‘keep on building’ with Northern Ireland midfielder

“He’s somebody who moves well, he’s good with the ball, he can play in different positions, he’s good in small spaces,” Sheehan said.

“Sometimes when you bring players in from different leagues and it’s their first time in the Championship, it takes time and people develop at different speeds. But he’s somebody that’s come in and hit the ground running really.

“My only worry is managing his minutes so he doesn’t get burnt out and he’s not on 30 games in November.”

The likelihood is Galbraith will return to Swansea’s starting side at St Mary’s Stadium, where they will look to respond after losing at home for the first time this season against the Foxes.

Sheehan says Swansea have a number of “bumps and bruises” following an international window where a string of players were in action for their countries, though Manuel Benson has been in full training despite returning early from his spell with Angola.
