Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has insisted that he is not worried about his squad's injuries ahead of this weekend's Premier League encounter with Aston Villa.

Neil Taylor and Kyle Bartley will miss the match at Villa Park through long-term injury, while Chico Flores is suspended.

"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," Laudrup told reporters.

"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."

The Swans are currently second in the Premier League table after two wins and a draw from their opening three games of the season.
