Aymeric Laporte: Manchester City defender ruled out for three or four weeks with hamstring injury
Written by News on 28/02/2020
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expects Aymeric Laporte to be out for “three weeks to a month” with a hamstring injury.
Laporte sustained the injury in Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League and will now miss the Carabao Cup final against Aston Villa on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
The France international is unlikely to feature in the Manchester derby on March 8 and is also a doubt for the return leg against Madrid at the Etihad on March 17.
When asked to give an update on Laporte’s fitness, Guardiola said: “Hamstring injury, [the] prognosis is normally three weeks to one month, more or less.
“We tried to avoid it but unfortunately it has happened after four or five months, when you go directly at demanding games, sometimes it can happen.”
