Injury Updates

[Jimbob]

Was his mate limping?

Haha, I think he was walking fine, off memory

 

[kaz7]

Didnt he have an operation a few weeks ago ? Not worth dragging him to the us if he needs intensive physio

 

[Trickyblues]

Is Laporte definitely injured? I’m sure I read somewhere he was joining Foden, Gundogan and Stones with the U23s due to fitness worries or something - that doesn’t necessarily mean an injury? Pep gave an update on Foden, Gundogan and Stones in his latest presser but didn’t even mention Laporte, just wondering where on earth he is?? He returned to training the same day as the other lads didn’t he.

He had surgery after the season. Which is why he didn’t play for Spain.

I was watching the Bayern v City game on ESPN then other night and according to them he's currently with the U-23's along with Phil, Ilkay and Stones.

I don't know how true that is.

Considering it’s been common knowledge for the last two weeks it’s pretty true

Well smart ass that's not entirely true, He didn't travel to the US due to the knee injury he picked up towards the end of last season and there was talk of Laoorte having to have knee surgery.

Haven’t seen him in any of the training photos today. Imagine he’s a couple weeks away from playing at a minimum if he hasn’t started training with the team yet.

Will be good to see what Ake can do over the next few weeks

Pol Ballus said that, from what he has seen, Laporte is about 4 weeks away from being fully fit and might miss the first 3 games of the season.

Laporte took one for the team playing those last couple of games.

 

[Shaffer92]

Laporte is a warrior for playing through it but it's a bit bizarre that Ake was on the bench seemingly ready to play and Pep still didn't choose him. Even if he wasn't 100%, he clearly was in better shape than Laporte who needed surgery?

Hopefully not too serious but this is the second surgery on that right knee of his.

 

[DMA's]

Laporte fair fucking play playing through that last season. What a legend

 

[jimharri]

Out until September apparently,according to Pep. Wonderful.

I remember a funny conversation on here months back after the Wolves game to be exact. A poster tried to say "It was Laporte own fault that he got injured he tackled wrong". Classic :)

 

[Andouble]

makes it even more bizarre that we were willing to listen to offers for Ake.

 

[Bobby the blue]

Laporte took one for the team playing those last couple of games.

And some people question his mentality or commitment.
Kudos to Laporte. Got us over the line.

I wouldn't agree with that but I would say that our now infamous left back was at fault for the injury he got for us going in to a stupid pointless tackle so it does happen.
