Aguero Still Sidelined For Champions League Trip To Anfield
Gabriel Jesus likely to start at Anfield as Sergio Aguero remains sidelined with injury.
Sergio Aguero will miss the first leg of Manchester City's Champions League quarter-final tie with Liverpool as he continues to recover from a knee injury.
City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed the club's all-time leading scorer did not travel with the rest of the squad to Merseyside ahead of Wednesday's game at Anfield.
The forward has instead remained in Manchester to undergo further treatment on a problem he picked up in training prior to the international break.
Aguero has not featured since the 1-0 home win over Chelsea on March 4, sitting out away games against Stoke City and Everton, as well as Argentina's recent friendlies with Italy and Spain.
"He's in Manchester, he didn't come. He's still not fit," the Spaniard told the media.
"We'll see [about the derby]. He's much, much better, but he spoke with the doctors and he was still a little bit uncomfortable."
With Aguero absent, Gabriel Jesus is set to start in attack against a Liverpool side who remain the only team to beat City in the league this season.
