Manchester City star Aymeric Laporte was hauled off at the break in Spain’s 4-0 victory against Georgia on Sunday.
The 27-year-old was taken off at half-time in his side’s World Cup qualifiers clash, as La Roja sealed a stylish win courtesy of goals from José Gayà, Carlos Soler, Ferran Torres and Pablo Sarabia.
According to Javier Herráez, relayed by Carrusel Deportivo, Laporte was substituted at the interval on Sunday against Georgia due to a muscle injury, with the source noting that the defender felt ‘overload in his right adductor’.
And following the game, Luis Enrique gave an update on the two injuries confirming the injury.
“I think Laporte only has an overload,” he said in his post-match press conference.
Detailed update on the severity and extent of the injury is expected in the coming days, with Spain set to face Kosovo on Wednesday.
The news was shared on Twitter by City Xtra, and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
