Laporte, linked heavily with a close-season move to Premier League side Manchester City, went down in a tackle in Thursday's contest against Scotland.

Laporte, who has featured regularly for Bilbao for the past three seasons, was reportedly set to be Pep Guardiola's first signing at City.
His injury may throw that move into doubt, while his chances of appearing at Euro 2016 for the hosts are likely to be slim.
