Thegoalmac can reveal that Manuel Pellegrini has suggested that Sergio Aguero could return from a knee ligament tear in time for Manchester City’s clash with Arsenal on January 18.
The Argentina international limped off in tears during City’s victory
over Everton earlier this month and has been ruled out for up to six
weeks.
But Pellegrini is hopeful that the striker, who has
scored 19 goals this season, can return for City’s crucial double-header
against Arsenal and Chelsea in the closing weeks of January, whilst
allaying initial fears that he could miss the club's Champions League
clash with Barcelona on February 24.
"Sergio has a torn ligament
and I think it will be long before that tie, probably in the first weeks
of January, that he will play," Pellegrini told reporters.
City
currently sit three points behind Chelsea in second place in the Premier
League, but are 10 points ahead of sixth-placed Arsenal.
