LONDON: Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero will be out of action for one month despite suffering a knee injury during the Premier League champions’ 3-2 win over Southampton.

Aguero was stretchered off after less than 10 minutes at Eastlands on Sunday after twisting his knee in a challenge with Southampton defender Nathaniel Clyne and it was initially feared the 24-year-old Argentine could be sidelined for most of the season.

However, following a scan and a period of assessment on the striker, City manager Roberto Mancini has revealed Aguero – whose 23-goal haul last season included the dramatic title-winner against QPR on the final day – could be back in action in time for his team’s league clash at Stoke City on September 15.

While Mancini is loath to lose Aguero for any length of time, the Italian admitted he is relieved to know his star striker, signed for $50.5 million last year, will not be out for as long as he first thought. (AFP)
