Swansea star Michu out of action for 1 month

Swansea striker Michu has been told that he will be out of action for at least a month as he faces a fight to return to fitness having injured his knee in last weekend's game against Cardiff City.

The striker, who also has an ankle knock, will be missing for four weeks and will miss this week's Europa League game.


Manager Michael Laudrup confirmed the player's absence: “Michu is one of our most important players and was our top scorer last season, but he has been struggling, is not 100 percent and unfortunately he is out for three or four weeks.


“He has not been at his best but that is because he has been struggling with both his knees for many weeks, but he wanted to play.


“With this ankle injury, hopefully he can get both his knees sorted as well. He will be away in Spain for a few days for some injections.”
