Manuel Pellegrini: 'Sergio Aguero is not in a bad moment'

Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that he is not concerned about the current form of Sergio Aguero, who has scored just once in six league games.

Last season's golden boot winner did manage to find the back of the net on Tuesday, as he scored a penalty against Sunderland in the League Cup.

However, despite the current goal drought, the City boss is confident that Aguero will kick-start his season against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

"I don't think he needs help in this moment because he is not in a bad moment," Pellegrini said, according to Goal.com.

"I am absolutely sure that if he didn't score in the last two games it's because he was not 100 per cent fit. But against Sunderland he participates with a lot of the play for the team so I don't have any doubt.

"Normally, Sergio scores goals. Sometimes, when he's come back from a long injury, he needs one or two games to recover his normal performance. But he's a very important player and we have a lot of trust in him. It's a matter of confidence."
