High-flying Manchester City will be without their star man Sergio Aguero for at least a month, it has been confirmed. The Argentinian international star suffered a hamstring strain in their 5-1 trouncing of Tottenham Hotspur; a mere four games into his return from injury. He's set to miss a plethora of important games for the Blues, including clashes against Chelsea in the Premier League and the FA Cup, the first leg of the Round-Of-16 clash with Barcelona in the Champions League, the Capital Cup One Final against Sunderland, and three other Premier League games against Stoke City, Norwich City, and North East outfit Sunderland. Pellegrini was quite confident about their ability to cover for the prolific Argentinian striker when interviewed;
It is a blow because Sergio is a very important player for us but we have some other very good strikers and we coped when he was out for a month before.
City won seven of eight clashes without the striker, but it is no exaggeration to say that they would definitely prefer him fit; the striker has netted 26 goals in 25 appearances already this season for the Manchester side.
