Pep Guardiola: 'Sergio Aguero is injured'

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has hinted that Sergio Aguero could be facing a spell on the sidelines after picking up an injury during Sunday's 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough in the Premier League.

Aguero, who netted Man City's first from the penalty spot at the Riverside Stadium, was seen holding his groin towards the latter stages of the entertaining affair.

Guardiola remained coy when questioned on the Argentine after the match, but the Spaniard 'thinks' that his leading scorer is injured, despite suggestions that the problem was purely down to a dead leg.

"Tomorrow we will see but I think he is injured," Guardiola told reporters.

Man City currently sit fourth in the Premier League table - one point ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United, and level on points with third-placed Liverpool, with all three currently on 34 matches played.
