Manchester City get injury update on Laporte after seeing defender forced off for Spain

The Citizens will be hoping the 27-year-old centre-half is ready for Premier League action against Leicester on Saturday

Manchester City have been given a positive update on the injury which forced Aymeric Laporte out of Spain's World Cup qualifying win over Georgia on Sunday.

The 27-year-old defender was replaced at half-time with early reports suggesting he had picked up a thigh problem.

Luis Enrique has sought to ease those fears, with the Spain boss claiming Laporte was suffering with little more than muscle fatigue from a busy start to the 2021-22 campaign.
