Aymeric Laporte Injury: Out vs. Levante

Laporte (illness) won't be an option for Saturday's game against Levante, manager Ernesto Valverde told media Friday.

Laporte didn't train Thursday and was absent from Friday's session as well, so the center-back won't be an option for this weekend's clash. With Yeray Alvarez (suspension) also out for the time being, expect Aitor Paredes and Dani Vivian to form the center-back pairing. Laporte is expected back for the Real Madrid clash on Wednesday, Dec. 3.
