Aymeric Laporte is working an intense schedule to aid his comeback from injury, but Pep Guardiola still doesn't know when Manchester City's key centre-back will be fully fit.

Laporte has been recovering from a knee injury he suffered against Brighton & Hove Albion in August that required surgery, and Guardiola said on Friday he is now training again, per Goal's Russell Greaves:

"He's training every day, he feels good after training and the day after he feels good, that is good news. I don't know when he'll be ready to play some games.
