Pep Guardiola has appeared before the media and confirmed that Agüero will undergo surgery tomorrow in Barcelona and that they still do not know exactly how long he will be on leave. In this way, Gabriel Jesús becomes the number one option for the Manchester City forward a month and a half after they face Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Agüero injury and substitutes: “Tomorrow we will know more about his injury when he has seen the specialist (Ramón Cugat). He will tell us when he can return. Our concern is not if Gabriel Jesús is good enough, it is to play a game every three days. No player can play 90 minutes every three days. Sterling, Gündogan and Bernardo can play there when needed. “
Frank Lampard: “He was an extraordinary footballer and he will be an extraordinary coach. He is completing a very good season and I like to see his team. They are an elite European club, they have incredible players in all positions.”
Upcoming matches: “I can't deny that we have an eye on the game against Newcastle. Chelsea's is a prestigious game, but Newcastle's is a final. The lineup will depend on physical condition. We have to look at what we have ahead, no just the match against Chelsea. “
