Sergio Aguero is a doubt for Manchester City’s Premier League clash against Liverpool on November 8 due to a thigh injury.

Pep Guardiola revealed on Monday evening that he expects Aguero, who was substituted at half-time during Saturday’s 1-1 draw at West Ham, to be out for a minimum of two weeks, with City set to take on champions Liverpool at the Etihad in 13 days’ time, live on Sky Sports.

Speaking ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League game against Marseille, Guardiola confirmed: “It will be two or three weeks, Sergio (Aguero) and (Benjamin) Mendy as well.

“Sergio was injured in the last game, muscular. When you are out for four or five months with a knee problem you always have a risk when you come back.

“We tried to handle it as much as possible, just 50-55 minutes every game. But it was not possible. It depends on the injury. We expect 10-15 days for sure minimum, or it could be three weeks or a month.”

Aguero joins Gabriel Jesus, Fernandinho, Benjamin Mendy and Nathan Ake on the sidelines.

The positive news for City is that defender Aymeric Laporte was fit enough to travel to France after a knock.

Guardiola added: “Kevin (De Bruyne) is back again and played a few minutes against West Ham. Aymeric is back too, Nathan is so close. Gabriel is close – one week to 10 days to come back. The rest will be two or three weeks.”
