Aymeric Laporte suffered an injury in Manchester City's 2-1 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 first-leg game and was replaced during the first-half.
Pep Guardiola confirmed that the defender has a hamstring injury and will miss most of March.
“It’s a hamstring injury. Normally it is three weeks or a month. We try to avoid it but it has happened. Sometimes, it happens,” said Guardiola during a press conference (via MEN). “I imagine it’s tough and you have to work hard. Life is not easy and always in the world the people who survive are the ones who cope with the bad moments. It is what it is. Accept it, work hard to come back as soon as possible.”
Here are the games that Manchester City defender could miss.
March 1: Aston Villa vs Manchester City (Carabao Cup final)
March 4: Sheffield Wednesday vs Manchester City
March 8: Manchester United vs Man City
March 14: Manchester City vs Burnley
March 17: Manchester City vs Real Madrid (Champions League round of 16 second-leg)
March 21: Chelsea vs Manchester City
