Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has hinted Sergio Aguero will see action against Manchester United in the Community Shield.
Mancini was speaking after their 3-0 Dublin Cup win over Inter Milan.
He told City's website: "Sergio's task this week is to recover.
"He played in the Copa America which only finished two weeks ago so he will train with us but the main aim is to help him recover his strength and be ready to play a part on the pitch next Sunday."
