Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that striker Sergio Aguero will not be fit in time to face Spanish giants FC Barcelona in the Champions League last-16 on Tuesday night.
The clinical striker, who has been superb so far this season, has missed City’s last three matches and despite taking part in training today with the first-team, Pellegrini has confirmed he won’t be ready for tomorrow’s game.
City host Barcelona in the first leg of the last-16 and Aguero will have to wait a bit longer until he makes his first-team return.
“He is not fit. We will see if he can be fit for Saturday [to play Stoke] but maybe that is difficult.” said City boss Manuel Pellegrini.
