Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has returned to first-team training and also dropped a tantalising hint over his prospective comeback. City are set to take on Borussia Dortmund and Wolves in what is shaping up to be an action-packed few days for Pep Guardiola and his team across the main competitions.
Laporte, 28, was a shining light for the Premier League champions last season. However, after struggling for some time with a knee problem, the Spanish centre-back underwent surgery this summer.
In his absence, City are unbeaten in their latest title defence, while Norway sensation Erling Haaland inspired them to a stunning Champions League victory over Sevilla in their Group G opener. Dortmund are next up for City in that competition at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night (8pm) before a domestic meeting with Wolves.
