Aguero doubtful for Champions league clash

The Argentine forward was substituted on the 25th minute against Crystal palace after suffering a challenge from the Eagles' captain Scott Dann.

Sergio Aguero
Although he continued playing, the striker himself asked Pellegrini to take him off the field as he was not feeling entirely comfortable playing with his injured knee. The striker later took to twitter to tell City fans that the injury wasn't serious.

But later he tweeted : " Keeping you updated - I had studies done today, to be completed tomorrow. We'll have a clearer picture then. Thanks for all the support!"

All does not seem to be well with Aguero's knee and he could miss City's Champions league opener against last year's finalists Juventus. With key players David Silva and Raheem Sterling also being doubtful for the clash, the Citizens certainly wouldn't want another of their star players to miss the next game.

Manchester City has been playing really well in the Premier league so far and are yet to concede a goal this season, leading the table by 5 points after just five games. But the Champions league is a different test, and having been drawn in what is this year's death group, Pellegrini would want his team to start strongly with a win against Juventus. Manchester City has always struggled in the Champions league and despite performing well in the domestic competitions in the past five years, they have never managed to get past the round of 16 in the UCL.

They must be relieved though as their opponents, Juventus, aren't doing well domestically, having picked up just one point from three league games so far this season.
