Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero returns to training

Sergio Aguero has revealed that he has returned to training following a knee ligament injury.

The Manchester City striker suffered the complaint early last month, with manager Manuel Pellegrini having refused to put a timescale on a potential recovery date.

However, the 26-year-old took to Twitter this afternoon to indicate that he may not be too far away from being available for selection again.

I wanted you to know I've already started field work. Slowly but surely I'll be back at the right moment. Thanks for the wishes!
