Despite his prolific form, City should still have plenty of firepower to cope with Aguero’s absence from the injuries sustained in a car accident in Amsterdam on Thursday. He faces seven months on the sidelines, however, after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee against Crystal Palace last Saturday. What is more, the 23-year-old had seemingly become a key protagonist in creating a great camaraderie among the City players. “Even if it’s the 97th minute, I’m going to be there, running down the sides, getting that last cross in.”Despite Guardiola saying City have adequate cover, his squad seems limited in a key position. While Aguero has a natural replacement, an alternative to Mendy may prove more difficult to find.
