Phil Foden is frustrated at a lack of playing time at Manchester City this season and he doesn’t appear to be the only one. L’Equipe (h/t Sport Witness) say Aymeric Laporte is unhappy at being on the periphery under Pep Guardiola and has a ‘strained’ relationship with the City manager as a result.




The 26-year-old would have been a regular alongside Ruben Dias, but he tested positive for Covid-19 at the start of the season and fell down the pecking order to John Stones weeks later.
