“Laporte is injured. He had knee surgery after last season, played the last two or three games with an important injury and made an incredible effort.

“He had surgery, so far is doing really well but you have to be careful with your knee. I think through August he will be out, by September I think maybe he will start to be with us,” Guardiola told reporters.
