Laporte lost six months, the city will not buy a new defender

Manchester - Manchester City will lose Aymeric Laporte for the next six months. However, City will not find a replacement for the French defender.

Laporte injured his knee ligament when City defeated Brighton and Holve Albion late last month. According to the results of the examination, Laporte will be absent for at least six months.

Even if Laporte recovers on time, forcing him to play immediately is not a wise decision given the recurrence of injury. Then, the option to find a new defender is the best choice next January.



However, Pep Guardiola, the city manager, will not do it. Because Guardiola thinks that Laporte will recover one hundred percent in time and he still has a reliable player.

At present, City only considers John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi as the two remaining central defenders. Fernandinho is likely to become the second floor with an additional choice of two young players, Eric Garcia and Taylor Harwood-Bellis.

"Aymeric's position is very important, his left leg and personality, unfortunately he is injured, so we have to be able to fight without him for a long time and we have enough stock to stay competitive, we will see what we can do," Guardiola told Sportskeeda .



"My advice to all of you is not to write down the names of the target actors in the transfer market, because that would be a big mistake, I don't think that will happen."

"I have heard that this player or player is of interest to us and I ask all clubs in the world not to worry because we do not want to return players or centers in Europe."

"We will maximize the players we have at the moment," he said.
