Manchester City’s all time goalscorer Sergio Aguero will miss the Manchester Derby slated for December 7, manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed.

The 31-year old hobbled off the game in the 77th minute whilst holding what looked like his groin or upper thigh as City went on to beat the Londoners.
While addressing media ahead of their Champions League game against Shaktar Donetsk, Guardiola himself could not pin point which muscle his star striker had injured.
When asked, Guardiola simply said, “"Something at the front, I don't know the word in English."
Even before the Manchester derby, Aguero is set to miss crucial Premier League games in between; against Newcastle United and Burnley.
Fans will be hoping the injury is not too serious as the Premier League heads into the busy festive season.
If Aguero fails to recover before Christmas, it means he will also miss crucial games against Arsenal and a potentially decisive one against high-flying Leicester City on December 21.
