Sergio Aguero is likely to miss a month of action due to his latest injury. The star forward had only recently returned to the field for Pep Guardiola’s side but now faces another spell on the sidelines. The latest Sergio Aguero injury also means that the Argentine will miss Manchester City’s blockbuster clash against Liverpool early in November.
Pep Guardiola provides Sergio Aguero injury update
Speaking to the press ahead of Man City’s Champions League clash with Marseille, Pep Guardiola revealed that the Cityzens have made the trip without a recognized striker. While providing the Sergio Aguero injury update Guardiola disclosed that the star forward has suffered a hamstring injury. The 32-year-old was substituted at half-time during Man City’s 1-1 draw against West Ham, with Guardiola confirming after the game that the forward had picked up another injury.
PEP 💬 We were very patient and didn't force him. When people tell me he is ready, we knew he wasn't in best condition, it was important to play just 55/60 mins. Avoid the last minutes to avoid muscle injuries but one action in the first half was unlucky and he felt something.
