MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says striker Sergio Aguero damaged a ligament in his knee in the 1-0 win over Everton in the Premier League and will not play in Wednesday’s crucial Champions League match against Roma.
Aguero, the league’s top scorer with 14 goals, was in tears after getting hurt in the second minute of the game at Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Pellegrini says "we will see tomorrow how serious it is but it’s not good news." Pellegrini did not specify which knee Aguero injured but City’s medical staff treated the Argentina international’s left knee.
City needs to beat Roma to stand a chance of reaching the knockout stage of the Champions League but will be without Aguero and the suspended Yaya Toure.
