Laudrup Forced To Make Changes For Cup Tie

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup looks like he'll be forced to make some changes to his team for Wednesday's Capital One Cup tie at home against Middlesbrough.

Ashley Williams will miss the game after picking up his fifth booking of the season, which means Garry Monk is likely to return to skipper the side against their Championship opposition.

Laudrup is also most unlikely to have any of the injured trio of Michel Vorm, Leon Britton and Pablo Hernandez available either. Hernandez is also set to miss the trip to Spurs on Sunday, while hopefully the other two could come into contention on the weekend.

The Swans boss may also decide to rest a few other players and hand starts to the likes of Kemy Agustien and Luke Moore.

Angel Rangel is keen to get back into action and back to winning ways after a disappointing 4-3 home defeat against Norwich:

'It's a good thing that the game comes so soon afterwards, especially when you lose,'

'You want to get your mind sorted and get a win soon. The Middlesbrough game is only four days after this one, so hopefully we can win and be happy again.'
