Injured Laporte sent to Barcelona to see knee specialist

Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has flown to Barcelona to undergo further tests on his injured knee, Goal can confirm.

The 25-year-old was taken off on a stretcher after colliding with Brighton's Adam Webster in the first half of City's 4-0 victory on Saturday.

He was taken to hospital after the incident, with Pep Guardiola admitting that he feared that Laporte would be out for 'a while'.
