# Manchester City: Fans react to Aymeric Laporte injury news

**Fans of Manchester City have been reacting to a post on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/City_Xtra/status/1381616968504082435), which relayed an update regarding the fitness of City centre-back, Aymeric Laporte.**

Having been ruled out of Manchester City’s 2-1 defeat to Leeds United last weekend [due to a hip injury](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-laporte-aguero-injury-20371000), Pep Guardiola confirmed that Laporte [would be assessed](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-laporte-aguero-injury-20371000) ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund to determine whether the 26-year-old would be available for the fixture.
