Aguero could return for Arsenal & Chelsea clashes, confirms Pellegrini

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.
