MANCHESTER, England (AP) Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero will miss the derby match against Manchester United on Dec. 7 after being ruled out for a few weeks by Pep Guardiola on Monday because of a thigh injury.

Aguero came off in the second half during Saturday's 2-1 win over Chelsea in the Premier League.
