Pep Guardiola gives Man City injury update on Aymeric Laporte and Kyle Walker

Pep Guardiola has revealed that Aymeric Laporte won't be ready to face Woves on Saturday, while Kyle Walker remains a doubt.

Manchester City will return to Premier League action for the first time in two weeks this weekend when they travel to the Black Country to face Wolves. Though the domestic calendar and been disrupted following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the Blues have started their Champions League campaign strongly in the meantime with victories over Sevilla and Borussia Dortmund.

The results have been even more impressive considering City have been light on options at the back with Laporte and Walker both sidelined. Laporte hasn't played a match at all this season after undergoing knee surgery in May to fix an issue he played on through in the final games of last season.

Walker picked up a knock in the last Premier League outing, a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa, and Guardiola has provided an update on both of their conditions: "Aymeric (Laporte) is back in training but is not ready," he said.

"Kyle (Walker) is getting better but I am not sure if tomorrow he will be ready. We will see in training this afternoon this afternoon."

Despite being sidelined for the last two weeks, Walker has been called up to Gareth Southgate's England squad for the upcoming international break along with Jack Grealish, John Stones, Phil Foden and Kalvin Phillips.
