Manchester City fear Sergio Aguero and David Silva are both out of the Manchester derby and their Champions League tie with Sevilla.
Aguero
fears he will be out for at least a month after suffering a hamstring
tear playing for Argentina while Silva sprained ankle ligaments playing
for Spain on Friday.
Argentina striker Sergio Aguero feels his hamstring in the 22nd minute during the games against Ecuador
I think I'll
be a month without playing,' Aguero said. 'I'll go to the AFA national
team compound to carry on with treatment. To recover from the tear I'll
surely need a month.
'I'd
been playing very frequently and was in doubt [for Thursday's match]
until the last minute, but as a player you always want to be there and
never know what can happen.'
The Argentine FA confirmed in a statement: 'The studies we did today show that Sergio Aguero has a Grade Two muscle tear.'
A
Grade Two tear can require anything from two to eight weeks to recover
from and the striker has a history of hamstring problems.
He was
replaced as a precaution after his five-goal haul against Newcastle last
week and later admitted he had felt his hamstring in City's previous
game against Borussia Monchengladbach.
City's
problems were compounded on Friday as Silva came off after just seven
minutes of Spain's 4-0 win over Luxembourg with a sprained ankle and was
ruled out for two to three weeks.
Spain
confirmed Silva had suffered 'a bad sprain of the internal lateral
ligament of the right ankle'. Silva has only just returned to action
after a calf injury.
