Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that Sergio Aguero will mist the vital Champions League meeting with Roma on Wednesday after picking up a knee injury in the 1-0 win over Everton.
The Argentine forward was forced off the pitch in the early stages of the game at the Etihad Stadium, and Pellegrini has confirmed that the club's 19-goal top scorer had suffered ligament damage.
"It is not good news, I don't think he will be able to play next week," the Chilean told Sky Sports News.
"We must wait for the diagnostic, the important thing he will not play against Roma, that is a very important game. We have other players and we will see how it is tomorrow and whether he can play.
"He was more calm [in the dressing room afterwards]. We will see how things are tomorrow but for the moment we are not sure."
City are likely to need a win in Rome to stand any chance of progressing to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
