Aymeric Laporte and Fernandinho add to Man City injury troubles ahead of West Ham

Aymeric Laporte and Fernandinho are both doubtful for Sunday's game with West Ham after being forced off in the win over Wolves.

Manchester City won 5-1 with Kevin De Bruyne particularly sensational as they moved three points ahead of Liverpool to mean four points from the final two matches will guarantee them a fourth league title in five years. However, Pep Guardiola could have even fewer options in defence for West Ham and possibly Aston Villa after seeing two more players suffer injuries.

Already without Kyle Walker, John Stones and Ruben Dias for the final two matches, the City manager watched on as Laporte was clattered by Raul Jimenez in a late tackle and couldn't continue, before Fernandinho complained of a muscular problem. Both will have to be assessed in the coming days and Guardiola did not sound upbeat when he spoke after the match.
