Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup considers move for midfielder

Michael Laudrup hints that he could add a new midfielder to his squad, due to the club's growing injury list.

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has hinted that he could look to sign a new midfielder, after Jose Canas joined Jonathan de Guzman on the club's injury list.

The Spanish player will be out for a month with an ankle problem, which prompted Laudrup to enquire about the possibility of recalling Ki Sung-Yueng from his loan at Sunderland.

"Things changed dramatically when we lost Jonathan de Guzman and Jose Canas in the space of a few days," the Swansea boss told BBC Sport.

"The injury to Canas will probably keep him out for about four weeks, and suddenly we only had two [fit] midfield players. Then I looked into the possibility of bringing Ki back, but the loan agreement said it should have been done by the end of December, so it's not a possibility.

"The only way we can change that is if Ki and both clubs all agree to end the loan, but of course Sunderland are not going to do that."

Swansea host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
