Sergio Aguero missed the Manchester City-Brighton clash and at least two other games as he was “in isolation for nine or ten days,” reveals Pep Guardiola
- Manchester City are in top form with six straight wins in all competitions
- Sergio Aguero missed out on beating Birmingham City when he was forced to isolate
- Pep Guardiola’s side are preparing to face Brighton on Wednesday
- You will be without an Argentine striker for nine or ten days
Sergio Aguero is unavailable for the Premier League clash in Manchester City and Brighton on Wednesday, manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed.
The Argentine striker missed Sunday’s FA Cup third round win over Birmingham after being asked to isolate himself as close contact with someone who tested positive for Covid-19.
When asked about Aguero at a press conference, Guardiola said: “Quarantine, isolated – the rules. He’ll be back in nine or ten days. ‘
Sergio Aguero missed the Birmingham game and is unavailable for Brighton
That absence means Aguero will miss three games, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa in the Premier League, and he is unlikely to play in the FA Cup the day after isolation ended against Cheltenham Town.
Guardiola added that striker Raheem Sterling, who also missed the 3-0 win over Birmingham, was fit but defenders Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake were out.
Guardiola said he wasn’t thinking about the table.
“I’m just worried about Brighton,” he said. “The rest, not even the second on my mind.”
