(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. Llorente, a member of Spain's triumphant 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012 squads, joined Swansea at the start of last season on a two-year deal from Sevilla, where he won the Europa League. The 32-year-old was Swansea's top scorer last season, chipping in with 15 goals as the club narrowly escaped relegation. As well as the Southampton fixture, he is likely to miss their first home game against Manchester United on Aug. 19.
