Man City boss Guardiola: We can handle Aguero absence

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists they can handle Sergio Aguero's absence through suspension.

City have a good record without the Argentinian and a back-up in Kelechi Iheanacho who scored his fifth goal in 14 games against Celtic on Tuesday.

Guardiola, though, may decide to play without an out-and-out striker, particularly with Raheem Sterling fit again.

The Catalan said of Iheanacho: "He's our striker. The only one I have. Of course, he's a player (who) should play but we have other options in the way we can play."
