‘I Don’t Get This’ ‘Needs To Start’ City Fans Not Happy As Guardiola Confirms Fitness Blow Ahead Of United Clash
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has all but ruled out Sergio Aguero from starting against United in the Carabao Cup semi-final this evening.
The Spaniard has confirmed that the striker is not “completely fit” and he is now deliberating about who should be selected as the ‘false-nine’ for the derby clash:
“We don’t have strikers. Gabriel and Ferran have Covid, Raheem [Sterling] can play there but I prefer to play him wider instead of a central position. We don’t have much alternative. Sergio is still not completely fit.”
Supporters on Twitter are scratching their heads over Aguero’s fitness situation. He came on for the last five minutes of the win against Chelsea and they are asking why he won’t be able to play more of a role tonight:
When will Aguero ever be fit. Or is there a problem between Aguero and Pep?? I don’t get this not fit excuse for close to 3months.

Completely fit to play 20 minutes in 2 games but not ‘completely fit’ to play 90 min so what kind of ‘completely fit’ is this completely fit. This is completely amazing scenario of completely fit 😭

Becoming frustrating for everyone now.

Pep needs to start using Aguero. The Aguero I saw against Chelsea is very fit and he has rested well enough. Something isn’t just right.

Ffs how long does it take one @aguerosergiokun to be fit🙅

It is not known exactly what the fitness issue is with Aguero but the Argentinian international has suggested recently that he is still managing a knee problem.
Whether the 32-year-old will be able to start a match soon, we shall have to wait and see, but it appears the best that City fans can hope for against United is a substitute appearance from him in the second half at Old Trafford.
