During the game against Chelsea on the 23rd November, Sergio Aguero suffered a muscle injury that is still affecting him and which meant that he had to miss out on the draws against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League and Newcastle, last week, in the Premier League.
In the pre-match press conference before game against Burnley on Tuesday (21:15), Pep Guardiola advanced that the Argentine striker will not be available for this encounter and that it is very likely that he will not recover until after the Manchester derby between United and City.
"Aguero is not prepared for the derby. After the derby, we will see," the coach stated to the media, who also recalled that Ilkay Gundogan is sanctioned and will also miss out on the game.
"The players have to believe that we are going to win. They can't think much about the team ahead, we have to think about what we have to do to win the games," Guardiola said.
