John Stones and Aymeric Laporte are back in training ahead of Saturday’s crunch Premier League fixture against Chelsea, which has got many Manchester City fans excited.
The defensive pair missed the Champions League win over RB Leipzig with muscle injuries they initially picked up whilst on international duty.
Aymeric Laporte has had a great start to the season and has formed a solid partnership with Ruben Dias at the heart of the Sky Blues’ backline this term, much like John Stones did during 2020/21.
John Stones has yet to feature for Manchester City this term, despite being an essential part of last season’s Premier League-winning campaign.
With a clash against fellow title challengers Chelsea on the horizon, Pep Guardiola will be encouraged that Stones and Laporte are back in training.
Rodrigo, Nathan Aké, John Stones, and Aymeric Laporte have all been photographed by Manchester City in training today.
In reaction to the news shared on Twitter by City Xtra, many Man City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.
STONES AND LAPORTE GOD IS GOOD🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
