Pep Guardiola says he wishes all of Manchester City's were available for selection.
Fernandinho's red-card against Aston Villa leaves Guardiola with just one centre-back to choose from.
"I wish we had Laporte and everyone else come back," the Spaniard said.
"I hate one word which is 'complain'. Normally when I say something not nice it is after a victory, never have I said it after a defeat.
"We were punished in some defeats and I shut my mouth. I would prefer to be all together."
Guardiola added: "We have Academy [players], other solutions," he added.
"When the spirit is correct, when you want to help you will always get through [the difficult moment].
"The problem is for the short time you can handle it, but for a long time I do not know."
