Laporte fears he will be out for weeks after fresh injury setback

Aymeric Laporte fears he will be missing for a few weeks after limping out of Manchester City’s victory over Real Madrid with a hamstring injury.

However, City have not yet put a timescale on a return for the French defender, who has already missed five months of the season with a serious knee injury.

The 25-year-old looked tearful when he left the pitch in the 33rd minute of City’s 2-1 victory at Santiago Bernebeu on Wednesday night. Laporte signalled to the bench that he could not continue but was able to walk off the pitch to be replaced by Fernandinho.
