Manchester City will have to wait a bit longer to get goals from their star striker Sergio Aguero. According to the club’s manager Pep Guardiola, Aguero miss up to two more months recovering from a knee injury.
Aguero injured his knee back in June and had to undergo a surgery in order to repair the damage. There was optimism at the time that he could return for the start of the new season, but it appears that the 32-year-old player still has ways to go before returning to the field.
“We knew that the injury was difficult. He is doing the job, in maybe one month or two months he will be ready,” Guardiola told reporters during a press conference for a season opener against Wolverhampton Wanderers. “He has to come back on the pitch and regain the physical condition. Sergio was out for a long time, and Sergio is not a guy who regains the physical condition quick.”
Sergio Aguero’s absence could prove problematic for Manchester City, considering that the Argentinian is the club’s main threat in front of the goal. Also, City doesn’t have a lot of depth on the position, with Brazilian Gabriel Jesus being their only other available striker.
Since joining Man City in the summer of 2011, Aguero has been on a tear and delivered five seasons in which he had 30 or more goals. In total, he scored impressive 254 goals in 370 games in all competitions with the club.
