No pressure on Iheanacho to fill Aguero's boots - Guardiola

The young attacker could lead the Manchester City attack in their next four Premier League games but the manager insists he is not under immense pressure

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists Kelechi Iheanacho is under no pressure to up his game during Sergio Aguero's four-match suspension.

Aguero was sent off for a high and late challenge on Chelsea defender David Luiz during Saturday's 3-1 Premier League defeat to leaders Chelsea.

Having already served a three-match ban earlier in the season, the Argentina international was dealt a more severe punishment this time around.

Aguero's absence could see Iheanacho asked to lead the line in matches against Leicester City, Watford, Arsenal and Hull City.
