Laporte (illness) is fit once again and fully available for Saturday's match against Valencia, according to manager Edin Terzic, per Iker Torrescusa of Marca. "He hasn't trained with us for almost a month, but he played ten days ago and continues to have a rhythm. Today he has felt very good, he has trained well and is fully available for tomorrow."
Analysis:Laporte has not played since before the international break due to an injury, but is finally set for his return, with the defender cleared to face Valencia. This will give the club a regular starter back in the defense, as the World Cup winner has started in six of his seven appearances this campaign. He should then remain a starter if he can stay fit, earning three clean sheets in his six starts this season.
