Swansea captain Garry Monk says the timing of the Olympic football tournament is not ideal timing for the Swans pre-season plans<\/p>\n

Monk told BBC Sport “In terms of pre-season planning for the manager and preparations it’s not ideal<\/p>\n

“I’m proud of the boys that are in there and I think it shows how far we’ve come as a club that we’re the most-represented club out of all of the people in there,” added Monk.<\/p>\n

“But I can see the other side of it where in terms of pre-season planning for the manager and preparations it’s not ideal.<\/p>\n

“But it’s a very proud moment for those players and their families that they can represent Britain and their families in the Olympics, especially with it being this year.<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t come around very often and I know there’s talk there might not even be another British football team in four years’ time as well.<\/p>\n

“So it’s not exactly something that comes around very often so I think they should all be very proud of themselves and go and enjoy it.<\/p>\n

“It’s a great experience for them.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
