What a relief it must have been for Pep Guardiola to see his most reliable defender return back to full fitness after missing Manchester City’s hard fought Community Shield win over Liverpool.
Aymeric Laporte is currently training with the first team as hopes to beef his fitness level in other to play City’s first match of the season against West Ham.
Manchester City currently have 3 recognized defenders in their books {Aymeric Laporte, John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi} but there’s a huge possibility Fernandinho will be used more in defense than in midfield.
The Brazilian Copa America winner has already confirmed this to the media and will be hoping to do his very best as a makeshift defender.
