Aymeric Laporte Injury: Unavailable Wednesday

Laporte (hamstring) is not an option for Wednesday's UCL game versus Sporting CP.

Laporte will miss an eighth consecutive league or UCL match while he continues to advance in the final stage of his recovery. He could be a good option for defensive production whenever he's fit, though he's unlikely to start in the short term. Dani Vivian (thigh) has also been ruled out for the midweek fixture, so Aitor Paredes and Inigo Lekue could be involved in the middle of the back line.
