Man City's Sergio Aguero out of Man Utd derby with injury but could be back for Liverpool

Sergio Aguero has a poor injury record at Man City

SERGIO AGUERO is out of this weekend's Manchester derby but could be back to face Liverpool next month.

 

The Argentine picked up a hamstring injury playing for his national team in a World Cup qualifier with Ecuador.

The 27-year-old predicted he would be out for a month and ahead of Manchester City's Champions League tie with Sevilla tomorrow, manager Manuel Pellegrini confirmed his star striker's absence.

 

He said: "Aguero is out for a month. Maybe next week [Gael] Clichy, [Fabian] Delph and [David] Silva will be fit."

It means Aguero will also miss matches against Crystal Palace, Norwich City, the away clash with Sevilla and Aston Villa on November 8.

 

There is then another international break before Liverpool arrive at the Etihad on November 21, which Aguero could be targeting for his return.

City then play Juventus in Turin on November 25 which is a more likely return date for the Ballon d'Or nominee.
