Manchester City travel to Merseyside to take on Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and Pep Guardiola might already have a selection headache ahead of the first leg.
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has been ruled out of the Wednesday night fixture after Pep Guardiola revealed on Tuesday that the Argentine has not travelled with the team.
“He’s in Manchester, he didn’t come. He was injured in last three weeks, so still not fit,” said Guardiola.
“Unfortunately, in the best moment, we had with Sergio he was injured,
“He is much, much better, but today the doctors, physios spoke with him and he said ‘I still have a little bit problem, I don’t feel comfortable at all’ and he knows perfectly his body.”
The 29-year-old has played 36 games in all competitions for Manchester City this season scoring 30 goals. So clearly Aguero will be a big miss for Pep Guardiola.
But the City boss does have Gabriel Jesus as an alternative and the Brazilian is in fine form after scoring against Everton on Saturday in the English Premier League.
