Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte is expected to be out of action for up to a month, according to his manager Pep Guardiola. Laporte was forced off in the first half of Wednesday’s Champions League victory at Real Madrid – having made just eight appearances this season.
“He has a hamstring injury, three weeks out more or less, a month,” Guardiola said on Friday. “Unfortunately this happens after four or five months out.”
Laporte, 25, returned in City’s 1-0 win over Sheffield United in January, following almost five months out with a knee injury.
