Aguero an injury doubt for Tottenham game
Sergio Aguero is a doubt for Sunday’s game at Tottenham after picking up an injury during City’s win over Wigan on Wednesday.
The Argentina striker was replaced at half-time after suffering from a tight hamstring during City’s 1-0 Premier League win over the Latics and faces a battle to be fit in time for Sunday’s trip to London.
David Platt indicated the 24-year-old was only withdrawn as a safety measure and did not sustain serious damage.
But the City first-team coach admitted that Aguero remains a doubt to face Spurs at White Hart Lane.
“He has got a problem, but it was a slight problem,” he told reporters. “It was more of a precaution than anything else. He felt his hamstring tighten up.
“Just the sheer proximity of the game on Sunday would say he is a doubt.”

Aguero will be monitored and assessed over the next couple of days, before City make a decision as to whether he will join the squad at the weekend – but the club feel the problem is unrelated to the hamstring tear the Argentine suffered in January.
