‘Jesus doesn’t have the same aura as Aguero’ – Ex-Man City skipper sees distractions for Guardiola’s side

Richard Dunne feels the Blues have taken their eye off the ball in Europe, while injuries continue to do their cause few favours domestically

Losing Sergio Aguero to injury is an obvious blow for Manchester City, says Richard Dunne, with Gabriel Jesus not boasting the same “aura” despite being a fine striker in his own right.

Injury setbacks have been an issue for the Blues throughout the 2019-20 campaign, with Pep Guardiola seeing his ranks depleted on a regular basis.

Many of those problems have been suffered at the back, with the Premier League champions having to get creative, but their star frontman has now been struck down at the opposite end of the field.
