MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero will travel to Barcelona to assess the extent of a left knee injury.
The club’s all-time leading scorer hobbled off at the end of the first half of City’s 5-0 win over Burnley in the Premier League on Monday.
The Argentina striker posted on Twitter that scans taken Tuesday “confirmed that I have damaged my left knee.”
“It’s a pity,” Aguero said, “but I’m in good spirits and so focused to come back as soon as possible.”
Aguero’s absence leaves City with just one recognized striker, Gabriel Jesus, as the team works to negotiate its way through a hectic schedule following the resumption of soccer after the coronavirus outbreak.
