Manchester City will play against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the away turf on September 21. However, their star striker Sergio Aguero hints to miss the tough opener.
The Argentinian trained alone today in his first session since sustaining the injury in June. Initially, the problem was seen as much less serious than his current status. The officials predicted that he might have played the Champions League last month.
Unfortunately, Aguero’s physical issue has shown slow improvement as City will begin their season without their best goalscorer. This may be Agüero’s last year at the club at the age of 32. And after just one year remaining on his current deal at Etihad, he will still bear a huge burden.
That being said, he remains the top choice for Man City.
The Argentina international managed to break Alan Shearer’s record for highest Premier League hat-tricks. He also holds the record for the top goalscorer in the Premier League by a foreign-born player. Thierry Henry is at number two.
As a result of some big signings that are anticipated by City, Pep Guardiola’s side hopes to sustain their high standards in the English league.
Gabriel Jesus will once again take center stage in Agüero’s absence. He seeks to prove that he can be the next star striker.
The Blues were associated with several big strikers over the past year. A future move is possible for Jesus to the Serie A winners Juventus.
In any case, Aguero is likely to miss the starting match vs Wolves. As City prepare to repeat last season’s winning streak against the Wanderers.
