Manchester
City striker Sergio Aguero is still out for a month, according to City boss Manuel
Pellegrini.
City
manager Pellegrini confirmed earlier today that Premier League top scorer
Sergio Aguero is likely to be back in the mid of January.
The
Argentina international suffered a knee injury against Everton on 6th December.
He was predicted to be out for atleast six weeks and the Chilean has made it
clear that he will take the whole time.
The
former Real Madrid boss is confident that Aguero will be back to face Arsenal.
He also added for the Boxing Day clash against West Ham United that duo
strikers Stevan Jovetic and Edin Dzeko and skipper Vincent Kompany are not fit
for this game. But
Jovetic and Kompany are expected to be back at the end of December but the
others two are out till the mid of next month.
While
he also added that Frank Lampard's future will be resolved in the coming days. The
former Chelsea midfielder is on loan from MLS side New York City and his loan
contract expires in January.
The
36-year-old has been impressive for the Manchester City and the Citizens
are hoping to extend the deal.
Manuel
Pellegrini added: “Lampard is very important to our team so I hope he will stay
here.”
Lampard
will surely be eyeing to stay in his homeland in the Premier League but it all
depends on New York City. However, both the clubs are owned by same owners.
