Laudrup will not panic over Swansea striker crisis

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup will not bid to sign a striker in the January transfer window, despite all three of his forwards being injured. Michu and Wilfried Bony were absent before Alvaro Vasquez suffered a groin strain in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Newcastle.

"In maybe a couple of weeks all three will be back.

"We have three and it is a case right now that all three are injured," said Laudrup.

"That's a coincidence, but if that happens when you have injuries in the same position, well you can't buy six forwards just thinking maybe there will be a couple of games during the season when four of them are injured.

"You can't do that. You have to prepare the squad and when we have three, normally that should be enough."
