Sergio Aguero to join up with Argentina squad

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has revealed that he is to join up with the Argentina squad on Monday, despite picking up an injury at the weekend.

The 23-year-old was substituted during City's 4-0 win at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday with a groin injury, and Blues assistant David Platt said after the match that he expected Aguero to be sidelined for two weeks.

However, the former Atletico Madrid forward tweeted on Sunday: "I am very happy because the doctor told me I have only a muscle bound! Tomorrow I come back to the national team!!"

Argentina are currently preparing for two World Cup qualifying matches against Chile and Venezuela.
