| Scott Dann's challenge on Aguero angered Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini |
SERGIO AGUERO is a major doubt for Manchester City's Champions League clash with Juventus at the Etihad on Tuesday.
Aguero limped off in the first half of City's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park yesterday.
The Argentine clashed with Palace defender Scot Dann prior to the Group D curtain-raiser.
And manager Manuel Pellegrini was angry that Dann's challenge was not punished by a red card.
It was an important kick on his knee," he said.
"We'll see if he can recover between now and Tuesday.
"It's very difficult to say now. It's important to see how he recovers. We'll see."
Spanish playmaker David Silva missed the game because of ankle injury, while Raheem Sterling pulled out late with a hamstring strain.
Although City will be sweating over the fitness of the pair, Pellegrini hopes to have them both back by Tuesday.
"I hope both of them can be fit on Tuesday. We will see," he added.
City host West Ham the following Saturday, with Aguero now a doubt for that clash as well.
Fabian Delph remains sidelined for another six weeks and will definitely not face the Hammers.
Silva and Sterling should be sufficiently recovered to take part
