Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has undergone surgery for a knee injury and could be out until September, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday ahead of the Premier League champions' Community Shield clash with FA Cup winners Liverpool. The 28-year-old France-born Spain centre back missed City's pre-season tour of the United States this month during which they beat Club America and Bayern Munich.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has refused to comment on reports linking the Premier League champions with Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella.
Diogo Jota and Alisson Becker will not feature against Manchester City in the Community Shield this weekend as they continue to recover from injuries.
Pep Guardiola wanted a new centre-back in 2018, and one who possessed a very specific quality. Nicolas Otamendi, Vincent Kompany and John Stones formed the heart of his defence at the time, but none of those players were left-footed.
Manchester City could head into the 2022/23 season without a recognised left-back if they cannot convince Brighton to lower their valuation of Marc Cucurella.
