Fulham will bring a full first-team to South Wales, including a host of internationals such as Edwin van der Sar, Andy Cole and Steed Malbranque, as they prepare to depart for their tour of the USA just two days later. Swansea are still looking to play a friendly against "major opponents" on the last weekend before the beginning of next season, although any details are as yet unknown.
