Sergio Aguero reveals Pep Guardiola once dropped him because he 'turned up FAT'

Pep Guardiola's strict rules around fitness once saw Sergio Aguero deemed too 'fat' to play for Manchester City.

The former City striker discussed his time in the Premier League on popular TV show El Chiringuito's live stream.

Guardiola has enjoyed rich success at Manchester City and part of that is down to his uncompromising demands - one of which is the weight limit he will allow his players to reach.

'If your ideal weight is 79-80kg and you were 80 kilos and 100 grams you would be fined and you don't play,' Aguero said.
