Manchester City's Aymeric Laporte suffers nasty head injury against Brentford after being caught by Ethan Pinnock's accidental elbow - with blood streaming from defender's head just eight days before the World Cup

Daily Mail | November 12, 2022

Aymeric Laporte has picked up a painful-looking head injury just eight days before the World Cup.

The Manchester City star, playing against Brentford in the Premier League's early kick-off on Saturday afternoon, was left bleeding on the floor after an accidental elbow to his face.

Laporte received treatment on the pitch and eventually played on - but could be sweating over his World Cup place with Spain, given the possibility head injury symptoms can present themselves later on.
