Aguero worry for City

MANCHESTER City boss Manuel Pellegrini hopes to have David Silva and Raheem Sterling available against Juventus tomorrow — but Sergio Aguero is a major doubt for the Champions League opener.

Spanish playmaker Silva was left out of Saturday’s last-gasp 1-0 win at Crystal Palace to rest an ankle knock and England winger Sterling was sidelined by a hamstring strain.

But the key duo are expected to be in the frame when City get their European campaign under way at the Etihad Stadium, and Pellegrini said: “I hope both of them can be fit on Tuesday. We will see.”

Striker Aguero could miss the Group ‘D’ curtain raiser after limping off during the first half against Palace with a knee injury.

Pellegrini, who was angry that the challenge by Eagles skipper Scott Dann which forced Aguero off was not punished with a red card, is waiting for an update on the Argentinian's fitness.

Victory left City five points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League on Saturday evening, and a whopping 11 points ahead of reigning champions Chelsea.
