Swansea boss Laudrup eager for Michu return

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup is sweating on Michu's return from injury.

The 14-goal forward missed the 2-1 win at Fulham with the ankle injury he suffered at Reading, but Laudrup had hoped he may be ready to face Aston Villa.

Laudrup said: "I don't know if he will be fit.

"Obviously, he got an injury on his ankle and it was twice the size the other day.

"It's not a muscle injury but it's a question about pain and if he can't put his foot into the boot then he can't play. He can't play in bare feet, I don't think.

"The medical team say it's a possibility he could be fit for Tuesday but let's see."
