Man City injury crisis as Aguero ruled out for a month and Silva sprains ankle

MANCHESTER CITY could be without stars Sergio Aguero and David Silva for several games after the duo picked up injuries while on international duty.

 

Aguero tore a muscle in his thigh playing for Argentina against Ecuador on Thursday and was in tears as he was stretchered off.

He told TyC Sports: "I think I’ll be a month without playing.

 

"I’ll go to the AFA [Argentinian Football Association] national team compound to carry on with treatment. 

"To recover from the tear I’ll surely need a month, although it will depend how it evolves."

 

Sergio Aguero could be out for a month

While Silva suffered a "bad sprain of the internal lateral ligament of the right ankle" for Spain last night against Luxembourg.

And a statement on the Spanish national team website said the 29-year-old is out of the squad.

City have a busy fixture schedule including important games against Bournemouth, Sevilla in the Champions League, Manchester United on October 25 and Crystal Palace in the Capital One Cup in the next few weeks.
