AGUERO RETURNS

The manager of Manchester City, Manuel Pellegrini, is glad that Sergio Aguero has recovered from his calf problem and is ready to return to action.

Aguero had got injured while making appearance against Arsenal in the middle of December last year and because of that injury; he had not featured for City in the last 8 matches. But, now, he is fit and fine and he might be seen onto the pitch at some point of time in City’s game against Blackburn Rovers which will take place on Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium.

Aguero is not expected to start in that game as he is coming back after a long injury setback, but, he is being considered for the substitute appearance.

Speaking in the pre match press conference, Pellegrini said, “Sergio has been training quite well and it’s good news for us. He is one of the vital blokes in the squad. Yes, we have played well without him too, but, it doesn’t mean that his importance for us has decreased.”

However, all is not good with City in terms of fitness. They will not get the services of Samir Nasri for the next couple of months as the Frenchman has suffered a ligament problem.

When asked about that, the City boss said, “Samir had been in good form. So, it’s a big blow for us. Hopefully, he returns quickly, but, generally, in these sorts of injuries, it’s hard to recover before 7-8 weeks.”

City’s current position in the league table is second, but, there is very tough fight going on for the top 4 spots at the moment and the positions of the teams are getting changed quite frequently. So, no team in top 4 can afford to drop points at all.

Aguero must carry on scoring

Sergio Aguero, the Manchester City footballer, admitted that he must keep on his goal scoring performances if they are to stand any opportunity of winning the EPL title this season. Sergio has scored thirteen times in fourteen appearances for Manchester City in all matches this season and he is the joint top goal scorer in English Premier League with 8 goals.

In spite of his formidable strike rate, his team’s poor away from has seen them drop to 8th in league standings. Twenty five year old Aguero stated that the load is on him to carry on scoring while Manuel Pellegrini’s team attempt to improve their significantly bad away form.

According to reports, Aguero told that he is playing very well. He has got a very good start to this season. Now he has to keep it up and play all the games like that so that people carry on telling great things; otherwise, they have got problems. He added that the majority of his goals have served the team get 3 points, and this is really very important.

A victory at West Ham United and a draw at Stoke City are their only returns on the road this season. Aguero believes that they have a team that can win, but they have to be consistent. It is important for them to stop making mistakes in away matches as this could make differences at the end of the season.
