Sergio AGUERO has just had surgery on his knee and is set to miss the rest of the season for Manchester City.

AGUERO tweeted earlier on Tuesday that he’s recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his knee.

Recuperándome de una artroscopia en la rodilla. Y con toda la fuerza para volver pronto y mejor a las canchas 💪//Recovering from an arthroscopy on my knee. Fully motivated to get back soon to the field 💪

The question now remains on whether or not he’ll be fit to be called up by Jorge SAMPAOLI for the World Cup in Russia. According to Diario Ole reporter Hernan CLAUSE, AGUERO won’t be in action for at least 3-4 weeks which would allow him to recover just in time for the big tournament.

#Agüero fue operado en la rodilla izquierda y tendrá para entre tres y cuatro semanas de inactividad. Le hicieron una artroscopia por un síndrome meniscal. Llega al #Mundial2018 con lo justo. Un dolor de cabeza más para #Sampaoli #SeleccionArgentina

It was a worrying scene during the match between Independiente and Boca Juniors, as Fabricio BUSTOS was seen limping off during the game. Rest assured it was nothing serious as tests revealed on Monday that he only suffered a sprained ankle. After being examined by the club’s doctor, BUSTOS looks fit enough to play in a Copa Libertadores match against Corinthians on Wednesday.

With the World Cup just two months way, BUSTOS is expected to play a key role for Jorge SAMPAOLI. His name is likely to be included in the preliminary list of 35 players which will be announced by SAMPAOLI on May 14.

Following PSG’s 7-1 win in Ligue 1 against Monaco, Javier PASTORE took to the media to discuss his future at the club.

After rumors that the former Palermo man would leave Paris during the last January transfer market, PASTORE’s recent comments did nothing to calm those rumors. Speaking to Premium Sports, here’s what he had to say:

“This season is more beautiful because we lost the title last time out. This season we’ve had a great campaign. We beat Monaco 7-1 and this win gives us strength to end the season well. We knew that we’d have been crowned champions if we won. We needed to make it happen and we had a great match.

“The result is what it is, but Monaco are still a great team. What I’ll do this summer? I still don’t know. I want to end the season well. We have another cup to win and we’ll give it our all. As for after that, we’ll see…”

In a separate interview following PSG’s 7-1 win, PASTORE said the following:

“It is true that I have won a lot of titles since I arrived here but each is just as wonderful as the last. It is two times more wonderful because we faced Monaco tonight, the previous champion. We were very focused, we knew that if we won tonight, we would win the title… it is never easy to win a title.”

“Does it make me want to stay? Of course, each time we win, we ask ourselves what we need to do. Since I arrived in Paris, the club has changed a lot. Now, I have one year’s contract remaining and I have not yet spoken with the club’s representatives. We will wait for the right moment to have discussions. Right now, we have no clear idea yet.”

As PASTORE himself mentioned, we will see what the future holds for him.

Inter Milan legend Esteban CAMBIASSO came out and stated that Lautaro MARTIEZ is a in between Gonzalo HIGUAIN and Mauro ICARDI.

Esteban CAMBIASSO knows a thing or two about top strikers. Playing alongside the likes of Hernan CRESPO, Adriano and Diego MILITO just to name a few, the now retired former treble winner spoke to Sky Sport Italia about Racing Club’s Lautaro MARTINEZ as well as Mauro ICARDI. Here’s what he had to say:

“ICARDI? In Argentina, there’s always talk about the abundance of quality that the coach SAMPAOLI has in attack. I think that’ll lead to HIGUAIN, AGUERO and Lautaro MARTINEZ being taken to the World Cup, which is very good.

“Can he play with ICARDI? Good players can always play together. As for his quality, he’s more similar to HIGUAIN, although Pipita is stronger outside the box.

“He’s in between [HIGUAIN] and ICARDI. As for ICARDI, I think the fault lies with the way [Inter] play. They’re not supporting him enough.”

Speaking about the World Cup, it’s never a bad time to post this video of CAMBIASSO’s greatest ever goal. The second in Argentina’s 6-0 win against Serbia and Montenegro at the 2006 World Cup.
