Aymeric Laport has joined key Manchester City players Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden, Aymeric and John Stones in missing out on the the American leg of their pre-season preparations, Sportsmail can reveal.
It is understood the players will not travel with Pep Guardiola’s squad to the USA, where they face Club America in Texas on Wednesday before playing Bayern Munich in Green Bay on Saturday.
Instead, Gundogan, Foden and Stones are due to fly to another destination in Europe with City’s Under 23s to continue their pre-season programme. It is not yet known if Laporte will join them.
