“We are talking about an injury which normally keeps you out for four to eight weeks, and it is only two weeks since he got injured.
“We tried everything, but we realise it’s too soon.”
Laudrup must now decide who plays in central defence instead.
The Swans confirmed there are no other injury worries. Wayne Routledge has been ill but should be fit for Wembley.
The Swans also revealed Swansea goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel will start against the Bantams.

“Hard luck Chico, you have been a rock in defence alongside Ashley Williams. Sad you won't be getting a medal - let's hope your replacement (whichever is chosen) can fill the gap you have left. Look forward to having you back in the lineup.”
