Aguero to miss City’s first leg with Barcelona
Sergio Aguero has not fully recovered from a hamstring injury and will miss Manchester City’s Champions League round of 16 first leg match against Barcelona today, coach Manuel Pellegrini said yesterday.
The 25-year-old Argentina forward, who has scored six times in five Champions League matches this season, pulled his hamstring after scoring in City’s 5-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur on Jan. 29 and has missed the last three matches.
“Aguero did not train today and is not on the squad list for tomorrow, he will not be fit,” Pellegrini said in his prematch press conference at the Etihad Stadium.
“We will see if he can be fit for Saturday but that is also difficult.”
