Swansea City manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 done against Aston Villa in their upcoming league fixture on Saturday, despite being marred by multiple injuries.
The Welsh club will be without the services of some of their key players when they visit Villa Park at the weekend.
During the game against Sunderland, defender, Neil Taylor, fractured his ankle from three places while attempting a tackle. Consequently, he was ruled out by the doctors for the remainder of the term.
In the same game, Chico Flores picked up a red card for his dangerous high-boot challenge on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Louis-Saha-c22459. He is set to sit out the next three matches due to suspension.
The Dane’s selection problems in the rearguard were further exacerbated, after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kyle-Bartley-c21555 also picked up an injury this week during international duty. The defender is expected to remain out of action for up to three months.
The absence of some of the key players could prove to be a big setback for a team who are currently riding on a tremendous run of form.
After kicking-off their campaign with a resounding 5-0 win at the Loftus Road Stadium, Laudrup’s unit then hammered West Ham United 3-0 and played out an impressive 2-2 draw with Sunderland. Subsequently, they find themselves at the second spot in the current
league standings – only two points adrift of league leaders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
However, the boss at the Liberty Stadium was confident that his team can fare well without the trio. He played down the notion that the Swans were amputated in the defensive front by Taylor’s and Chico’s absence, claiming that they have got sufficient depth
in the squad to deal with their predicaments.
“It has been a bad couple of weeks. We all remember what happened to Neil and after that we have had another injury, not as serious, but a very difficult and rare muscle injury for Kyle,” he said.
“Then of course we have Chico suspended for three matches. It's typical, to lose three defenders like this.”
“But we have a squad and we have prepared them to play from the beginning, we did not think about serious injuries at that time but we are covered, we have players.”
In order to deal with his defensive problems, the 48-year old is likely to start with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dwight-Tiendalli-c11774, is also set to make his EPL debut.
