Bad news for Pep Guardiola and Lionel Scaloni for the month of November. Sergio 'Kun' Agüero has suffered a muscle injury that will keep him off the pitch for at least a month.
A sensitive loss both for his club, with which he will not be able to play the next Champions League matches, and for the albiceleste, with which he will not be able to play in the last window of the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar of the current year in which Argentina will first face Paraguay at La Bombonera, and then Peru at the National Stadium in Lima.
Guardiola has assured that his injury will be “ten or fifteen days” and that in the worst case “it can go from three weeks to a month.” Another injury that leaves Agüero in the dry dock again, who was already out last summer recovering from another knee injury and prevented him from playing the final phase of the last edition of the Champions League.
The loss of Kun opens the doors to other forwards like Gio Simeone, that he has scored four goals in the last five games and that due to his moment of form and performance on the pitch could enter into the plans of Scaloni for the next two qualifying matches.
He will miss the games against Liverpool and Tottenham
Agüero will miss momentous duels in the fight for the league championship, such as the visit of Liverpool on November 8, or the match against Tottenham in London for the 21 of November although, in case of arriving, it would be very fair.
In this way, only G remainsAbriel Jesús as a pure nine in the squad to face the next stage of the competition in this month of November.
