UCL: Match Update, Team News As Man City Clash With Marseille

Sergio Aguero could be fit enough to feature on the bench for Manchester City in their last Champions League group game against Marseille on Wednesday.

Aguero, City’s record goalscorer, has played just four times this term after knee surgery in the close season.

The 32-year-old striker has missed the last three matches after suffering discomfort in his knee, with a hamstring injury adding a further complication to his troubled return.

Aguero’s last appearance came as a substitute in the Champions League win at Olympiakos on November 25. “We are going to decide tomorrow. Maybe he is on the bench,” Guardiola told reporters on Tuesday.

“Tomorrow we are going to do a training session and see how his reaction is in his body, not just his knee. “The important thing is the last two, three, four days he was part of the group in the training and his reaction and the niggles he had in the recent past were disappeared.”

Aguero’s availability means the Argentine might be involved in Saturday’s crucial derby against Manchester United as City look to get back in the title race. “He’s working incredibly hard to come back and this is the most important thing,” Guardiola said.
