FA Cup Did not act against Birmingham
Sergio AgueroThe recent bad luck continued this weekend because he could not play Manchester City in their FA draw against Birmingham City.
The Argentine international would start the match – something he has not done since October due to a series of injury problems.
But, Pep Guardiola confirmed after the 3-0 victory that Aguero was forced to isolate himself after a close contact was positive for COVID-19.
This is the latest setback for the striker, for whom he has only played nine times City this season, who scored two goals.
The 32-year-old has so far played 260 minutes of club football in this campaign and must complete another 90 minutes in any match.
Aguero is currently free to talk to other clubs about a free transfer this summer, with his contract at City introduced in June.
In his nine-and-a-half years in England, he became a legend in City and is the club’s leading scorer of all time.
