Manchester City are quietly confident Sergio Aguero will be fit for the start of the season after a rapid recovery from injury.

The Argentine striker, 32, had knee surgery in late June and was expected to miss the beginning of the campaign.

But he has made quick progress in his rehabilitation.

And he could now be available to boss Pep Guardiola for their clash with Wolves on September 21.

The Sun reports Aguero is now pain free and his mobility is improving.
