Swansea boss Laudrup names De Guzman designated penalty taker

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup has named Jonathan de Guzman as their prime penalty taker.

Laudrup's move comes after De Guzman's Wembley bust-up with Nathan Dyer after the manager failed to nominate a designated spotkick taker.

He said: "It was very unusual as we had not had a penalty before, but maybe we will now have a penalty on Saturday.

"As for who will take it - you never change a winner so if Jonathan de Guzman is on the pitch he will have it."
