Man City Striker Ruled Out of Wednesday's Champions League Clash Against Liverpool With Knee Injury

Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero will miss the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie between the Cityzens and Premier League rivals Liverpool on Wednesday.

Aguero injured his knee in training last month and hasn't played since the 1-0 win over Chelsea on March 4.

City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed the Argentinian's absence in his press conference ahead of the highly-anticipated clash.

“Sergio is in Manchester. He was injured the last two weeks," the manager said as quoted by the BBC.

"Sergio is much better but doctors spoke to him today and he said he still has a little bit of a problem and isn't comfortable.
