Sergio Aguero has not returned to training ahead of Manchester City’s Champions League trip to Porto on Tuesday but manager Pep Guardiola maintains the problem is not serious.
The Argentina striker underwent surgery in the summer and his return to action has already been complicated by a hamstring injury.
After coming on as a late substitute in City’s 1-0 win at Olympiakos in the Champions League on Wednesday, the Sky Blues hitman Sergio Aguero played no part in Saturday’s 5-0 thrashing of Burnley in the Premier League, after being completely omitted from Pep Guardiola’s matchday squad.
Speaking after the game, Pep Guardiola told the Daily Mail about the injury problems the striker has been facing.
“Sergio depends how he wakes up. He makes good training sessions and then has some niggles. He woke up with a little problem in his knee. We know the injury he had is not easy for the recovery. We have to handle it as best as possible,” he said.
The Argentinian now seems unlikely to be involved as City, who are already qualified for the last 16, face Porto in their next Group C game.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Guardiola said: “I am not concerned. He did not train. He had a little disturbance in his knee. It is nothing serious but he didn’t train.”
