Bugger!Broken Leg & Dislocated Ankle :(
3-4 months has been said,it's his fibula not his tibia so not as long outBugger!
Bad injury that for a footballer. Minimum 9-12 month recovery to full activity.
Tbh I would steer clear of this one until he has proven himself for Bilbao. No wonder they are so keen to cash in!!

I think if we are getting him for 5 years then it's worth the wait for him to get fit,it probably complicates things with regard to who we let go in the summer,we don't want to end up short at the back again.I am going to be glued to the transfer forum,it'll be tracking planes time again hahaI think given his age its worth the risk, i've not seen much of him but for him to be 1 of Pep's number 1 targets speaks volumes
If he has suffered a fracture dislocation of the ankle it will be an awful lot more than 3-4 months Karen.3-4 months has been said,it's his fibula not his tibia so not as long out
It's been reported 3-4 months so we'll have to see,if it is a year we must surely reconsiderIf he has suffered a fracture dislocation of the ankle it will be an awful lot more than 3-4 months Karen.
Ligaments will take longer to recover and there is potential for damage to the joint itself.
Straight forward fibula fracture would be 4-6 months.
Just hope there is a performance related clause in any contract agreement given the sums involved. Must be.

I am sure Bilbao are v keen to sell right now!bilbao have confirmed already its 3-4 months
Bilbao are never keen to sell any of their players. They have never ever sold players for a penny less than the release clause under the current president. Bilbao would be more than happy to keep Laporte. Extremely stubborn club.I am sure Bilbao are v keen to sell right now!
Have just looked at the video of the injury and it definitely looks like much more than a simple fracture. His foot gets caught in the turf and rotates outwards. Papers reporting dislocation as well as fracture and it certainly looks so.
Tragic for the boy but this transfer has got massive risk to it.
Who are the other 2?NEW JUST IN
Marca are reporting that a deal for 21 year old center back Aymeric Laporte from Athletic Club Bilbao is all but confirmed for 39.6 million, with the deal near enough finalized, and looking likely to be City's 3rd signing of the next transfer window, when announced.
