Cleared to face Real Sociedad
Laporte is available for Athletic Club's upcoming La Liga clash against Real Sociedad after serving a one-match suspension during Sunday's encounter against Getafe.
Analysis: Laporte returns to contention after missing Sunday's match against Getafe following his straight red card during the 2-1 defeat to Levante. The defender was dismissed in the 73rd minute for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity with a last-man foul on Requena. Aitor Paredes and Dani Vivian provided options in central defense during his absence, but Laporte is now eligible to reclaim a starting role against Real Sociedad. His return gives Athletic Club an additional experienced option at the back after completing his suspension.
Sent off against Levante
Laporte was shown a straight red card in the 73rd minute of Wednesday's 2-1 loss at Levante for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.
Analysis: Laporte left Athletic short in the final stages at Levante after he was sent off for a last man foul on Requena, who was through on goal. The defender will sit out the Getafe game on Sunday, and while a one-match ban is the likeliest outcome, the Competition Committee has yet to confirm the length of the suspension. He could be back for the Real Sociedad clash if the punishment is not extended. Aitor Paredes should partner Yeray Alvarez in the heart of the defence while Laporte is out.
