Sergio Aguero Injury: Updates on Manchester City Star's Knee and Return

Manchester City were boosted by the full return of Sergio Aguero during the side's match against West Ham United on Sept. 19.

He was forced off early with a knee injury during the win over Crystal Palace on Sept. 12 but made a substitute appearance in Sept. 15's defeat to Juventus. 

His involvement against Palace was cut short by what Ben Dinnery of ESPN FC called a "crude tackle" from Scott Dann, leading to Kevin De Bruyne making his City debut.

The Sky Blues are always significantly weakened by his absence. Aguero was the top scorer during the 2014-15 Premier League season, netting 26 times as City came in second, five goals more than Tottenham's Harry Kane, per WhoScored.com.

In Wilfried Bony, City have an able back-up, but the Ivorian has yet to prove himself a consistent goalscorer at the Etihad since his switch from Swansea in January.

With City aiming to regain the Premier League this season while also battling it out in the Champions League, Manuel Pellegrini will be desperate to see Aguero maintain his fitness.
