Man City boss Guardiola downbeat on Aguero making Lyon

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is unsure if Sergio Aguero can make their Champions League tie with Lyon.

The Argentine striker, who provided the assist for Raheem Sterling's strike in victory over Fulham, was substituted on 53 minutes for Gabriel Jesus, having suffered a knock in the first half.

“It was something in the ankle," the Catalan boss told press.

“He went up to head a cross and when he fell down, he felt something.

"He finished the first half and started the second half a bit uncomfortable.

“He could have played on but with us winning 3-0, we did not want to take a risk (so he was substituted). We will see tomorrow (if he can play on Wednesday)."
