Pellegrini: Aguero will be available Tuesday vs. PSG after injury scare
Manuel Pellegrini quelled fears over Sergio Aguero's fitness ahead of Manchester City's match against Paris Saint-Germain, saying the Argentine should be available after his early exit from Saturday's match.
Aguero was replaced in the 90th minute of City's 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion after he appeared to suffer an Achilles injury during a challenge from Craig Gardner.
The forward was seen wincing as he hobbled off, but Pellegrini expects to have him in the squad for City's Champions League encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.
Aguero, who leads the team with 18 Premier League goals, failed to find the score sheet during the first leg against PSG, but City still managed to come away from the fixture in Paris with an encouraging 2-2 draw.

Meanwhile, PSG saw its first-choice 'keeper leave Saturday's match against Gungamp after Kevin Trapp collided with teammate Layvin Kurzawa. Manager Laurent Blanc said that Trapp will be assessed Sunday to determine his availability for the Champions League fixture.
