Scores in return to XI Laporte scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 5-0 win over Norwich.

Impact Laporte marked his return to the starting XI with a goal during Saturday's absolute rout. The defender isn't likely to establish any stable starting role, with the incredible depth City have up and down the pitch. Next up is a Saturday clash at home vs. a weak Arsenal side.

On bench against Spurs Laporte (not injury related) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Laporte returned to the team late and had to isolate, but he's feeling well enough to be an option Sunday. However, he started just 14 league matches last season and probably won't see much more time in the new campaign, especially with Nathan Ake also stealing time at center-back.

Keeps clean sheet in draw Laporte kept a clean sheet and completed 115 passes during Monday's scoreless draw with Sweden in Group E.

Impact Laporte led all players in completed passes during a rather one-sided contest, at least in possession. The end result could have turned out differently if the Swedes converted on their limited number of chances but since that didn't happen, Laporte can come away fairly confident about his role in the result. With Robert Lewandowski still struggling to score in international competition, Laporte will be tasked with shutting him and Poland down in the second match of the group stage.

Closes season on bench Laporte has stayed on the bench in each of Man City's final three league matches of the season.
