Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup will not panic buy

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup says that he will not sign a new striker in January, despite losing three frontmen to injury.

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has insisted that he will not rush to sign a new striker when the transfer window opens in January, despite losing three forwards to injury.

Michu and Wilfried Bony missed Wednesday evening's victory over Newcastle United, while Alvaro Vazquez sustained a thigh injury during the match.

"In maybe a couple of weeks all three will be back," Laudrup told BBC Sport.

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

Swansea face Hull City on Monday evening.
