Sergio Aguero could miss up to two more months due to injury according to Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola.

Aguero has been out of action since June and could be out until November. A knee injury against Burnley on June 22 means that Aguero was not selected by Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni for the team’s two World Cup qualifying matches next month. And according to coach Pep Guardiola, he will be out for longer:

“We knew the injury was difficult. He still hasn’t had one training session with us and Sergio is not a guy who regains his physical condition quickly. He has been out for a long time, so maybe in one or two months he will be ready.”
