Manchester City get a big boost when Sergio Aguero trains again and a return from his injury and the hell of the Covid-19 is … he has only played 141 minutes in the Premier League this season.

- The Argentine striker has barely appeared this season due to repeated injuries
- He contracted Covid-19 in January just when he was finally fit again
Sergio Aguero trained with his team-mates on Monday as Manchester City still received good news after their huge 4-1 victory over Liverpool on Sunday.
The Argentine striker has seriously disrupted his season so far, limiting him to 141 minutes of Premier League football.
Aguero was hampered by knee and thigh muscle injuries earlier in the season, but overcame them and appears to be back in action in January.

The Argentine has so far only managed 141 minutes of league football due to injuries and illness.
However, after first having to isolate himself due to contact with someone who tested positive for Covid-19, the 32-year-old contracted the virus himself and forced him to spend even more time off the field.
However, Manchester City’s record holder has now fully recovered and is training on Monday with those who were also not involved at Anfield at the weekend.
Aguero have only scored twice this season, both in the Champions League, and Pep Guardiola has apparently missed the striker as City struggled to find their best form at the start of the campaign.
But Guardiola’s team has now won 14 games in a row in all competitions, scoring 37 goals and conceding four.

Aguero’s potential return in the near future will only contribute to the good feeling that is currently running through the club, and will give a boost before a big month of matches.
City will face Tottenham, Everton, Arsenal and Manchester City in the league over the next four weeks, as well as a first round of the Champions League round of 16 with Borussia Monchengladbach and an FA Cup clash with Swansea.
Gabriel Jesus, City’s other recognized striker, has struggled for minutes over the past few weeks himself, with Guardiola finding a successful formula, as have Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden who have all sometimes played in the false nine position.
And while Aguero’s long – term future remains uncertain – his contract with the club ends at the end of the season, City will hope to play a key role from time to time, as they will remain in all four leagues.
