SERGIO AGUERO WILL miss Saturday’s Premier League clash with Sunderland because of a “stupid” injury.
The Manchester striker is likely to be ruled out for up to two weeks, meaning fellow countryman Carlos Tevez could be handed a starting berth for the first time since his return to Eastlands last month.
While manager Roberto Mancini did not reveal the nature of the problem when pressed, he did say it was a “stupid injury” and a “stupid situation.”
Aguero has been a key player for City this campaign as they go in search of the their maiden Premier League title, with the former Atletico Madrid man the club’s top scorer in his first season in English football.
