Pep Guardiola has stressed that City need to ‘be careful’ in managing Sergio Aguero’s first team return to ensure our all-time record scorer doesn’t suffer another injury setback.


The Argentine only returned to action last month after a five month lay-off following a knee operation but then picked up a hamstring problem in our league game at West Ham sidelining him again.

Though named on the bench for Saturday’s trip to Spurs, Aguero was an unused substitute on a disappointing afternoon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium which saw us suffer a 2-0 reverse.

With goals proving harder to come by so far this term with only 10 goals being scored in the league, there is no doubt City have missed Aguero’s lethal finishing prowess.

But asked whether the return of Aguero would help instil extra belief into the squad with City currently 13th in the table, the Catalan expressed caution about his return to the fray.
