Aguero could spend a month on sidelines
LONDON • Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero missed the club's Champions League trip to Marseille yesterday and will be out of action for two to four weeks after suffering a hamstring injury at West Ham.
Manager Pep Guardiola said his decision to risk the Argentina striker, who only made his first appearance of the season against Arsenal on Oct 17 due to knee surgery, had backfired. City are short on forwards, with Gabriel Jesus "seven to 10 days from coming back".
