Bessone was stretchered off in the first half of Saturday's 0-0 draw with Bristol City and early diagnosis says he will be out for up to four weeks
BBC Sport reports: "Swansea defender Fede Bessone could be out for up to four weeks after tearing a hamstring in the 0-0 draw at Bristol City.
The Argentine left-back, 24, collapsed to the ground 28 minutes into the game at Ashton Gate and left the field on a stretcher.
Bessone had only recently come into the side to replace Marcos Painter who is out for the season with a knee injury.
The Swans have Stephen O'Halloran, on loan from Aston Villa, as cover. "
