Man City defender Aymeric Laporte drops fitness hint ahead of West Ham fixture

Centre-back Aymeric Laporte has hinted that he could be available for Manchester City's trip to the London Stadium to face West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.

The Spain international, who has scored four Premier League goals this season, was forced off just past the hour mark during Wednesday evening's 5-1 win over Wolves at Molineux. It was a worrying sight for manager Pep Guardiola and City's supporters as fellow centre-backs John Stones and Ruben Dias have already been ruled out for the rest of the season.

Laporte was replaced by Dutchman Nathan Ake, who was already nursing an injury complaint of his own. The Dutchman was struggling with an ankle problem but managed to get through the remaining 30 minutes.
