Aymeric Laporte has provided an encouraging injury update on social media before watching his Manchester City teammates get down to business against Newcastle on Sunday afternoon (4.30pm).
Laporte, 28, was a shining light for the Premier League champions last campaign. However, after struggling with a knee problem, the Spanish defender underwent surgery this summer.
In his absence, City have recorded back-to-back wins over West Ham and Bournemouth as they get ready to visit Newcastle on Sunday afternoon for their latest Premier League fixture. Laporte is not yet fit enough to return, but there appears to be welcome news regarding his recovery after being ruled out until September.
