Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero (picture) will be out of action for just one month after suffering a knee injury during the Premier League champions’ 3-2 win over Southampton.

Aguero was stretchered off inside the opening 10 minutes at Eastlands on Sunday after twisting his knee in a challenge with Southampton defender Nathaniel Clyne and it was initially feared the 24-year-old Argentine could be sidelined for most of the season.

But, following a scan and a period of assessment, City manager Roberto Mancini has revealed Aguero could be back in action in time for his team’s league clash at Stoke on September 15.
