Laporte coming back and playing every game isn't going to affect Stone's playing time? Right now it's three players for two spots, and once Laporte returns it'll be three players for one spot. Otamendi partnered Laporte for three of the four league games so far this year, they can obviously play together.We will most likely buy a CB in January and another in the summer, all players need the challenge, there is a common belief that Fernandinho can play CB well anybody can but all have a standard and his is nowhere near as good as Stones, i do not know if you have noticed but Laporte is a LCB and does not challenge Stones,
There is a chance that Pep will go with a back three of Stones Rodri/Fernandinho,Ottamendi but this depends on Mendy, so i do not see your soon actually happening
