Man City Injury Update: Sergio Aguero out of Manchester City vs Cardiff City, Gabriel Jesus to start
The HinduSergio Aguero will miss Manchester City's Premier League match against Cardiff City and is a doubt for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Brighton and Hove Albion. Speaking at a pre-match news conference, Guardiola did not disclose the nature of Aguero's injury but he is not willing to risk the 30-year-old as City enter a pivotal phase of their battle for honours on all fronts – including the first leg of a Champions League quarter-final at Tottenham in seven days' time. "He didn't train the last two days – tomorrow he is not able," the Catalan said ahead of a match where victory would see his team retake the lead at the top of the Premier League from Liverpool with six games remaining. The Brazil international threatened Aguero's status as City's number one forward after his arrival from Palmeiras in 2017 but is now unquestionably second choice.
