Man City to make late Aymeric Laporte decision for Chelsea match

Manchester City will assess Aymeric Laporte in training before deciding if he can feature against Chelsea.

Laporte missed the 1-1 draw with Everton on Saturday with a back injury after being on the bench against Leeds. The Spanish defender joined Ruben Dias on the sidelines, who picked up a hamstring injury in the World Cup and has not featured for the Blues since domestic football started up again.

City's Spanish defender is back training with the group after his minor issue, but Guardiola was not ready to rule him back in when he spoke to reporters before the Chelsea game. Laporte will be looked at later on Wednesday to finalise selection plans for the trip to Stamford Bridge.
