The leading defender of "Manchester City" Emeric Laporte will miss the start of the season, according to the official website of "City".
— Laporte was injured. He had knee surgery in the summer. He played the last two or three matches of the season with a serious injury. Everything is fine now, but the knee needs to be careful. "I think Laporte will miss all the August matches and join the general group in September," said Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola.
