Sergio Aguero: Dealing with Slight Knee Issue

Aguero will not play in Manchester City's Capital One Cup match against Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday due to a slight knee injury, but he is expected to face Hull City on Saturday. "I think...Sergio will recover without any problems for Saturday," manager Manuel Pellegrini said Tuesday.

Analysis:

Pellegrini probably just needed a reason to keep Aguero out for the Cup match, with a knee issue one that hasn't been used in the past for the Argentine striker. With nearly a full week of rest, he will likely be back in the starting XI for City's Premier League tie.
