Free agents Cyrus Christie and Adam Reach are spending a second week training with Swansea City.
Defender Christie, 32, and utility player Reach, 31, originally linked up with Luke Williams’ squad at the start of this international break.
The two Championship stalwarts are again with Swansea this week as Williams’ players prepare for a trip to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
Head coach Williams has been monitoring the free-agent market as he continues attempts to strengthen his squad.
But it remains to be seen whether Swansea will offer either Christie or Reach a contract.
Christie, a former Swansea loanee who was released by Hull City at the end of last season, would offer cover across Williams’ defence.
Reach, who has been without a club since his contract at West Bromwich Albion expired in the summer, is happiest playing as an attacking midfielder or out wide.
Adam Reach has played for the likes of West Bromwich Albion, Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough
The duo would be allowed to sign for Swansea outside the transfer window because they are unattached.
Swansea, who are 11th in the Championship, signed only eight players – including two goalkeepers - during the summer transfer window.
That was despite the fact that 13 senior squad members – plus four youngsters on the fringe of the first team - departed during the close season.
