Swansea City unlikely to recall Ki Sung-Yueng from Sunderland

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has denied suggestions that he is planning to recall midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng from Sunderland.

Ki joined the Black Cats on loan until the end of the season in September, but reports have claimed that the Swans may want him back early because of an injury crisis at the Liberty Stadium.

"There is a possibility to bring him back but I don't think it is a good idea," Laudrup told reporters. "Ki feels comfortable where he is now.

"If we take him back, he would not play every game. Mentally, it would be very bad for him."

Ki scored the third goal of his loan spell on Saturday as Sunderland thrashed Fulham 4-1 at Craven Cottage.
